A Celta who conceded too much on defense, saw a valuable victory disappear in the last minute. The sky-blue started overwhelming, completely dominating the game and scoring two goals – the work of “killers” Iago Aspas and Maxi Gomez – in less than ten minutes. Real Valladolid, who reached the fifth mtachday with their scoreborad at cero, rolled up their sleeves and began to gain ground against a soft Celta in defensive tasks.
Oscar Plano cut the lead with a header just minutes before half-time. After halftime, a new goal from Iago Aspas gave the stands of ABANCA Balaídos calm… but it was a mirage. The Valladolid team did not surrender and in 65th minute they again cut distances with a goal by Ünal. Antonio Mohamed’s team could not close the match and, when the match was coming to an end, in injury time, the newcomer Leo Suarez scored his first goal in First Division to put the final 3-3 on the scoresheet.
The sky-blue have an opportunity to remove the bittersweet taste of this draw in just four days, against Valencia in Mestalla (Wednesday, 22:00, beIN Sports LaLiga).
