PTThe moment came after a decisive Batalla save, who threw himself fully to stop Boyé in a one-on-one. The incident prevented a goal from the Alavés forward, but left the goalkeeper down on the pitch, grimacing in pain.
Medical services rushed in to treat the goalkeeper for Rayo Vallecano, who remained on the field for approximately five minutes. The assessment confirmed he was unable to continue, and the player had to be taken off on a stretcher.

PTThe substitution took place in the 65th minute, when Dani Cárdenas replaced Batalla in the franjirroja goal. For Íñigo Pérez, the setback had an added consequence: the team was left without any available substitution windows to tackle the final stretch.
Batalla had been one of the standout names in the match up to that point, especially for his intervention against Boyé. The Alavés had found an opportunity of the highest danger, but the Argentine managed to keep Rayo Vallecano going before being forced to leave the field.
Rayo faced the closing minutes with Cárdenas in goal and no room to make any further changes.
