RC Celta lost this Sunday to Granada (0-2) in a match that was characterised by the two ejections suffered by the sky-blue players in the first half hour. The Andalusian team got ahead on the scoreboard shortly before the break and extended its advantage in the second half.
The first half was conditioned by the red cards to Saenz and Beltran, the first of them on a play very similar to others that were yellow in other matches and the second after a clash on a split ball. Fran Escribá’s team did not crumble and tried to create chances.
Already behind on the scoreboard, the sky-blue threw pride and good football after the restart and created problems to a Granada team that was comfortable on the pitch.
