RC Sporting Charleroi 2:3 Rayo Vallecano — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Fran Pérez scored and won the match for Rayo Vallecano as they edged RC Sporting Charleroi 3-2 in a Club Friendly. The Spanish side took the lead through Randy Nteka in the 24th minute, but Charleroi fought back twice, with Aurélien Scheidler and Noah Solheid cancelling out Fran Pérez's strike before a 90th-minute winner sealed the result.

The turning point came late, as Charleroi had clawed level through Solheid in the 78th minute and looked to have earned a draw, only for an unassisted goal deep into stoppage time to snatch victory. Rayo had earlier weathered an early yellow for Ivan Balliu, while Charleroi's Aiham Ousou was booked in a scrappy first half that saw chances limited at both ends.

The numbers told a curious tale: possession was dead level at 50% each, yet Rayo's efficiency proved decisive with three goals from just one corner, while Charleroi won seven corners but managed only two in reply. Fran Pérez was the standout, a midfielder whose rating of 8.85 reflected his match-winning contribution. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Rayo Vallecano, and the result confirmed it, though Charleroi's late resilience suggested they were closer than the scoreline implied.
