The former Watford player had a couple of chances to score, but on both occasions he was unable to control the ball well and it went long, which made the job of Rayo’s goalkeeper, the Argentine Augusto Batalla, easier.
Michel took Asprilla off the field in the 75th minute, to bring on Gabriel Misehouy. It was the third change he made in an attempt to break the tie.
James Rodríguez, without minutes.
James, on the other hand, watched the entire match from the bench, confirming what his coach, Íñigo Pérez, had said about the need to prioritise team play and achieving their objectives.
“I don’t know, but even if I did, I wouldn’t say it. I move in short time frames, which is how we should focus as a club,” he declared when he was asked when the ’10’ of the National Team would be a starter.
James hopes to get minutes on Saturday, when Rayo Vallecano plays at home against Leganés (9:15 a.m. in Colombia). Girona will play again on Sunday, when they visit Celta in Vigo (7 a.m.).
