Guido Marilungo’s magnificent volley gave Cesena a good 1-1 draw with Spaniards Rayo Vallecano.
The Seahorses are newly promoted to Serie A, earning their spot via the play-offs in June, so started pre-season later than anyone else in Italy.
That didn’t seem to affect their form or confidence this evening, as they took the lead against Rayo Vallecano thanks to a stunning Marilungo volley.
The visitors drew level at the Stadio Manuzzi when Lass Bangoura burst down the left and pulled back from the by-line for Alberto Bueno.
