Rayo Vallecano hit the front against Barcelona after Sergio Busquets lost the ball in midfield and the ball ended with Falcao in front of Ter Stegen. The Colombian cut back brilliantly and then hit across the GK with his left foot into the far corner.

Barcelona visited Vallecas on Wednesday with the ideal of getting over the defeat to Real Madrid in 'El Clasico'. Barca lost 1-2 after Alaba and Lucas Vazquez scored for Real Madrid. 

Nevertheless, it seems like the bad form continued against Rayo Vallecano. Rayo took the lead after 30 minutes thanks to Falcao, one of the more unusual signings of the summer. 

Sergio Busquets was dispossessed by Oscar Trejo in midfield. The number 8 put in space to Radamel Falcao, who took advantage of Eric Garcia's poor positioning to be one on one with Ter Stegen. 

The Colombian once again showed his signs of a goalscorer. He dummied past the German to leave him on the floor and he put the ball on his left foot so he hit the ball to the far post to make it 1-0. That puts Ronald Koeman's future in even more doubt.
