Claw of “Tigre” Falcao and the lions of Athletic de Bilbao were struck by Lightning: 2-1

(CNN Spanish) – Colombian Radamel Falcao García not only led his new team Rayo Vallecano to victory, but he did so in the last moments of the match and on a visit to a strong rival in Spain, Athletic de Bilbao.

Falcao, who has scored two goals in two games, is a hope for the Madrid team, recently promoted to the first category of Spanish football.

He scored with a header in the 95th minute to give the Vallecas team victory. El Rayo opened the marking at minute 5 through Álvaro García. Athletic Club’s equalizer was an own goal by Pathé Ciss in the 33rd.

The Colombian forward entered the 76th minute for Unai Lopez.

Rayo Vallecano is fourth in the LaLiga table – an unusual position: his best season was in 2013 when he finished eighth – and he dreams of reaching a European competition. There is still a long way to go, but with the claws of “Tigre” for now they lead Ray fans to dream like never before.
