RC Celta defeated Deportivo Alavés 4-0 at Abanca Balaídos in the match corresponding to the 35th LaLiga matchday. A victory that ensures, for the eleventh consecutive season, the presence of the team from Vigo in the top flight.
The match could not have started better for Eduardo Coudet’s side, with a goal from Galhardo to open the scoring. A first half in which Iago Aspas extended the home side’s lead to go into the break with 2-0 on the scoreboard.
Celta would not take long to score after the restart with a goal by Cervi against an Alavés that was left with a numerical inferiority after the expulsion of Ximo Navarro for direct red card. The sky blues then made it 4-0, which was to be the final score, through Iago Aspas.
Celta will sleep this Saturday in eleventh position with 43 points after 33 rounds of competition. After this match, the sky blues will face FC Barcelona next Tuesday, May 10 at Camp Nou at 21:30 in the thirty-sixth round of LaLiga.
