It took a while to get going, but when it did, Coudet’s team enjoyed it. A goal at La Romareda to pass with flying colors the first test of the Copa del Rey 21/22. The match started with a brave and brave Ebro against an RC Celta that did not feel comfortable. The situation seemed to worsen with Galhardo’s muscle injury at the start of the match, but the entry of Santi Mina in his place woke up the sky blues.
The Galician striker opened the scoring on a pass from Cervi in the 23rd minute, just eight minutes after taking the field. The goal was liberating for the sky blue side, who began to stretch and dominate. Solari’s goal, full of quality, came on the stroke of half-time. In the second half, Franco Cervi scored a brace in just three minutes (great game from the Argentine). Academy academy player José Fontán rounded off the victory in stoppage time with his first goal as a first team player.
