The eighth day of the Primera Iberdrola left three notable victories: the first from Rayo Vallecano, who gave the red lantern to Villarreal; the first as a local for Betis, which featured Mari Paz Vilas and her three goals; and that of Atlético de Madrid, which allows the rojiblancas to sleep this day in European positions.
