Add trade and resistance

He Celtic He left El Sadar with a good taste in his mouth. The team from Vigo took a point in a difficult game, in which they suffered at times, but they managed to score their second clean sheet in a row and their third goal in the game. Although it was not the best game for the Celtics, they knew how to adapt to the game in order to get something positive out of what they knew was a complicated court.

Eleven

Return of Larsen to ownership

Jørgen Strand Larsen was the only change in Celta’s starting line-up from the ones that started in the win against Valladolid. Despite the fact that Seferovic used his first title to make his debut as a goalscorer, Carlos Carvalhal decided to overturn it, one of two changes he introduced the day before. On the contrary, still without Mingueza, Hugo Mallo remained on the right side.

Beginning

intensity and hardness

Already the first bars of the match were a sign that a difficult and dry match was coming. With Osasuna being the better side, intensity characterized the first few minutes which cost the sky-blue more. Two dangerous approaches by Jagoba Arrasate were early on, and one of them required the intervention of Iván Villar. In the first act, the Whigs hardly exceeded 30% of the possession of the ball.

Development

Celt from less to more

The team from Vigo, very solid in defense, knew how to work hard to survive without the ball and little by little managed to balance their strength and feel more comfortable. After half an hour of play, Luca de la Torre had the best chance for the team from Vigo, who failed to shoot at the goal, but home goalkeeper Aitor Fernández intervened and blocked the corner kick.

Duel

The fight between Mallow and Abde

As expected a priori, the home team in El Sadar took charge on the left side, and sky blue right back Hugo Mallo had to deal with Abde. It was difficult for the Moroccan striker to enter from that side and, although he managed to create danger in some actions, in others the sky blue captain managed to stop him. The first conflict between the two occurred as soon as the match began.

Continuation

Fixes and more balance

Celta managed to level the game more in the second half, with an exchange of shots where both teams had their moments. It didn’t take long for the Portuguese coach to move from the bench, first of all to bring in Seferović and Franco Cervi instead of Larsen and Luca de la Torre who had earlier seen a yellow card. The Vigo players continued to pull away, making several steals in the midfield with venom, one of which led to a clear chance for Gabri. The local team had a goal disallowed due to the backfield.

Outcome

Osasuna’s last arreón

Óscar and Solari instead of Gabri and Carles were the second substitutions (78th minute) for Carvalhal who gave Swedberg a few moments. After a minute of alternatives for both teams, Vigo’s men suffered an arreón from the Navarrese team and forced Iván Villar to make the most of it.
