Madrid (B2B) - Tuan rumah Real Sociedad dipaksa menyerah 0-1 oleh tamunya Rayo Vallecano pada pertandingan Liga Spanyol (La Liga) di Stadion Anoeta, Sabtu malam waktu setempat.
Satu-satunya gol kemenangan Vallecano dicetak oleh Manucho pada menit 81 memanfaatkan umpan Roberto Trashorras, memecah kebuntuan setelah babak pertama bermain tanpa gol.
Pada babak pertama, 13 menit setelah kick off, tuan rumah Sociedad langsung membuat serangan kejutan. Carlos Vela melayangkan tembakan ke arah kiri kotak gawang Vallecano, namun masih bisa diblok kiper Tono.
Juga upaya Imanol Agirretxe menit 30 masih bisa diblok penjaga gawang Rayo Vallecano.
Vallecano pada babak pertama juga mendapatkan sejumlah peluang penting, antara lain melalui Ze Castro menit 28, yang masih melenceng, kemudian via Alberto Bueno menit 31 juga masih melebar di atas gawang Sociedad.
Alberto Bueno setidaknya dua kali mengancam gawang Sociedad dalam upaya berikutnya menit 40-an, namun belum juga berhasil, satu melenceng dan satu berhasil diblok, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Dalam babak kedua menit 72, Imanol Agirretxe kembali melayangkan tembakan ke gawang Vallecano, tapi masih juga menjauh dari lubang gawang.
Menit 77 Vallecano membalas serangan melalui Alex Moreno, sayang bola tendangan kaki kirinya masih bisa dihadang kiper Sociedad, Rulli.
Baru pada menit 81, diawali dari tendangan pojok oleh Alberto De la Bella, Manucho mencetak gol kemenangan untuk Vallecano menyambung umpan Roberto Trashorras.
Rayo Vallecano sekarang menempat posisi 9 dalam klasemen Liga Spanyol dengan poin 23 dari 19 pertandingan yang sudah dijalaninya, sementara Real Sociedad berada di urutan 12 dengan poin 19
Madrid - David Moyes suffered his first home defeat since he took charge of Real Sociedad as his side were beaten by Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
Former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes, on the touchline for the last time before a two-game ban, has now failed to win his last four games.
Sociedad striker Imanol Agirretxe twice had shots saved by Vallecano goalkeeper Tono before Esteban Granero shot wide.
But the visitors won it when ex-United striker Manucho headed in a corner.
The Angola international, who was at Old Trafford for the 2008-09 season but only made three substitute appearances for the Red Devils before a loan spell at Hull, met Roberto Trashorras's 81st-minute set-piece to score the only goal.
Sociedad have not won since a 1-0 victory against Barcelona on 4 January and are 12th in the table, only three points above the relegation zone.
Moyes took charge in November in his first job since being sacked by United in April but has only won three of 12 matches at Sociedad.
The Scot will have to watch their next two games - against Eibar at home on 24 January and away at European champions Real Madrid on 1 February - away from the touchline after his dismissal during his side's Copa del Rey game against Villarreal on Wednesday.
He remonstrated with officials over an offside decision and was sent off, before he climbed over a pitch-side fence to sit with his side's supporters.
