RC Celta scored an important 1-2 victory in Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés in the match corresponding to the fifteenth round of LaLiga. After an even first half, in which the sky blues took the lead, Iago Aspas gave the victory to RC Celta in the middle of a second half in which Eduardo Coudet’s team was better.
The match could not have started better for the Celticos, who took the lead through Santi Mina. Kevin found the sky blue academy player, who shot strongly and the ball, repelled by Pacheco, ended up in the back of the net. The joy did not last long, as ten minutes later the equalizer arrived after a cross from Edgar on the left flank that Joselu would finish off.
With equal forces after the first 45 minutes, the snow and the cold were the protagonists after a restart in which, in addition, Alavés sent a ball to the left post of the goal defended by Dituro through Loum. However, with the passing of the minutes, RC Celta began to take more weight in the match, an improvement that would be reflected with the 1-2. Iago Aspas would take a penalty for hands of Martín from the eleven meters and, after Pacheco’s save, the striker from Moañes would finish the rejection to certify the goal.
A result that the RC Celta would defend with firmness, tenacity and grit to add a victory and climb to 16 points. After this victory, the sky blues will start their participation in the Cup next Tuesday, November 30 at 21:00 at La Romareda.
