In the first UEFA Conference League semi-final match, Madrid's Rayo Vallecano club defeated RC Strasbourg at home with a score of 1:0.

The match was officiated by a team of Lithuanian referees: the main referee was Donatas Rumsas, assisted by Aleksandras Radliukas and Dovydas Sužiedėlis.

The only goal was scored by Alemao in the 54th minute.

Later, the Rayo team had several more opportunities to double the score.

There were quite a few scuffles in this match, which required the Lithuanian referees to calm the tensions.

The return leg will take place next Thursday.
