RC Celta earned a point against Real Betis at Abanca Balaídos and accumulates six consecutive matches without defeat at home. The sky blue fans had the best entrance of the season, 13.149 spectators who pushed the team incessantly. The goal was missing.
Equality in the first half, with few clear chances, but a handful of good sky blue arrivals. The RC Celta left several details of good play, especially Brais Méndez who has real magic in his boots.
In the second half, Coudet’s team increased the danger of their approaches and came close to scoring. Iago Aspas and Hugo Mallo could have scored, but their deserved shots ended with the ball grazing the woodwork.
