RC Celta kicked off its #CamiñoAoCentenario by reminiscing about the match of its history. It was on September 23, 1923 against Boavista at the Coia pitch. Now, 99 years later, the Portuguese team visited Abanca Balaídos to kick off a magical year for celtismo.
On the sporting side, the match served for Carlos Carvalhal to continue with his adaptation and tests. Iago Aspas scored the sky blue goal in the 36th minute. Good minutes from a team that did not give up.
Bozenik scored the definitive equalizer five minutes later. Javi Rodríguez and Gael Alonso, academy players from Celta C Gran Peña, made their debut with the first team.
Good test for RC Celta in a friendly match against a Boavista that put a lot of commitment.
