HQRayo Vallecano has won an European match for the first time in 25 years (not counting qualifiers last summer). Fans invaded the pitch the day that Rayo Vallecano confirmed their entrance to UEFA Conference League qualifiers last May, a qualification they finally sealed last August in a 4-0 thrashing to Belarusian club Neman. Today, on the first day of UEFA Conference League league phase, Rayo Vallecano has delighted fans with a comfortable victory against KF Shkëndija, a club from Tetovo, North Macedonia. Rayo had full control of the match, with only 1 shot from the Macedonian squad vs. 20 shots from the local team. First UEFA match (and victory) since 2000The victory has been specially meaningful for Rayo, a humble club that had only played in an European competition once before: during the 2000/01 campaign of the UEFA Cup.
