Balaídos breathed after an intense and exciting game against Sporting de Gijón. Celta won for the first time in the season and despite being the absolute dominator of the game, it was a suffering victory.

At the last minutes Radoja fell inside the box and Iago Aspas had the chance to gets Celta back to victory. The Galician player didn’t waste the penalty shot.
