Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano called off due to floodlight failure

Real Madrid's match with Rayo Vallecano has been called off due to floodlight failure at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas.

The local rivals had been due to start their La Liga encounter at 8.30pm.

However, the fixture has now been postponed until a later date amid rumours that floodlights inside the stadium had been deliberately cut by disgruntled home fans.

The game is now expected to be played on Monday night at 7pm.
