RC Celta took the first three points of the tournament against Valencia CF on Saturday after winning 1-0. The sky blue team imposed its good football and its work against the reigning champion of Copa del Rey and showed that it will be very difficult to let points escape from Abanca Balaídos.
The only goal from RC Celta came after a sensational combination between Iago Aspas, Denis Suarez and Gabriel Fernandez that the Uruguayan striker sent to the net after a sensational heel strike. During the rest of the match both teams had opportunities to score.
