RC Celta dropped the three points against the Madrid team after dominating a match that ended up slipping away from them in the last stages of the second half.
Claudio Giráldez’s team started by owning the ball and putting Borja Jiménez’s team against the ropes. It would be Ilaix Moriba who would have the first chance with a shot from the front that Dimitrovic managed to deflect. Celta continued attacking, with Óscar Mingueza in charge of orchestrating the sky blue offensive but without getting the desired results. Finally, both teams went to the break with a draw on the scoreboard and without having shown a very attractive game.
In the early stages of the second half, Claudio Giráldez’s team came out with a higher intensity that was soon reduced after conceding the first goal after a mistake in the ball out. An unexpected blow that derailed the concentration of the Celestes, who were surprised by a Leganés that took advantage of the confusion to take the lead on the scoreboard.
