RC Celta returned to winning ways after defeating Elche CF 0-1 at the Martínez Valero in the match corresponding to the sixteenth round of LaLiga. A match in which the celestial were ahead on the scoreboard in the first sets of play, a result that would remain immovable until the end.
The Rei das Bateas could not miss his appointment with the goal on Three Kings Day and, after six minutes, put RC Celta ahead on the scoreboard. A first half in which Elche looked for the equalizer but also came close to conceding the second on several occasions with the constant threat of Aspas and Gabri Veiga.
The second half began with two very meritorious saves by Marchesín, who kept Carvalhal’s side in the stretch of the match in which Elche looked for the visitors’ goal with more danger. A second half in which, with the passing of the minutes, the Celtic team managed to maintain its advantage to achieve an important victory to open the box in 2023.
