UD San Sebastián de los Reyes delivered a ruthless pre-season performance on 12 August 2026, crushing Rayo Vallecano B 8-0 in a one-sided friendly that will have given the home supporters plenty of reasons to smile. The scoreline highlighted a major gulf in sharpness and squad depth between the two teams on the day.

Dominance from the first whistle

San Sebastián de los Reyes approached the match with real purpose, pressing high and attacking with speed in wide areas. It took very little time for the home side to take control, with the first goal arriving inside the opening exchanges after a defensive mix-up in Rayo B’s box. From that moment forwards, the rhythm of the game was entirely dictated by the home team.

By halftime, the match was effectively over as a contest. San Sebastián de los Reyes had already built a commanding lead, scoring through a combination of clinical finishes, penalty-box chaos and one stunning long-range effort that left the young Rayo B goalkeeper helpless.

Relentless second half

The second half followed the same pattern. UD San Sebastián de los Reyes continued to press forward, rotating their attacking options and testing the Rayo Vallecano B defence with wave after wave of possession. Fresh legs made an immediate impact, and the home side added to their tally at regular intervals, with several substitutes winning applause for their energy and sharp movement.

Rayo Vallecano B, fielding a youthful side, struggled to cope with the physical and tactical demands of the match. Their clearest chances came from a few fast breaks in the second half, but too often the final pass was lacking, and they failed to create any serious trouble for the home goalkeeper.

Key takeaways from the fixture

• Clinical finishing: Eight goals from a variety of scenarios — tap-ins, headers, set pieces and counter-attacks — showed San Sebastián de los Reyes’ versatility in front of goal.
• Young Rayo B lesson: This friendly serves as a valuable learning experience for Rayo Vallecano’s next generation, though the defensive frailties will need addressing.
• Momentum builder: The emphatic win offers a healthy confidence boost as UD San Sebastián de los Reyes fine-tune their preparations for the new campaign.

Assessment

Pre-season results should always be taken with perspective, but an 8-0 victory carries real meaning in terms of squad fitness and match sharpness. UD San Sebastián de los Reyes were organised, energetic and ruthless, while Rayo Vallecano B will be glad to leave this afternoon behind and move quickly onto their next friendly challenge.
