BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -Leonardo Carrilho's long-range strike three minutes from time sparked Rayo Vallecano to a 2-0 home win over Mallorca in the Spanish league on Saturday.

The Brazilian forward broke through for the dominant Rayo with a right-foot blast that slipped just inside the near post.

Leonardo then created a second goal for Andrija Delibasic in the 90th by dribbling past a defender, drawing out the goalkeeper and laying off for the substitute to push the ball into the empty net.

Mallorca's Michael Pereira hit the crossbar in the 60th in the visitors' only clear chance to score.

Rayo moved into the top part of the table while Mallorca's winless run reached eight straight games.

Also, Valladolid broke a streak of three home draws by beating Granada 1-0 thanks to Angola striker Manucho's second-half goal from a through pass by Oscar Gonzalez.

Real Madrid visits Real Betis later, after Valencia is at Malaga.

League leader Barcelona visits Levante on Sunday looking to extend its club record start of 11 wins and a draw, while second-place Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla.

Also on Sunday, Espanyol hosts Getafe, and Deportivo La Coruna visits Athletic Bilbao. Real Zaragoza plays Celta Vigo on Monday.

Real Sociedad drew 0-0 with Osasuna at home on Friday.
