A great brooch for a gray party

Goal from Josip Aidoo At the end of regular time, he changed everything and won Celtic against Elche. In a game in which the Celtics had as many as nine shots on goal and in which they were not comfortable again, they resisted until the end.

Eleven

Four changes, including surprises

Yesterday, Carlos Carvalhal introduced four changes to the Bernabéu eleven, some more predictable than others. Joseph Aidoo and Carles Pérez returned to the starting line-up, but the Ghanaian did not do so at the expense of Renato Tapia, but Unai Núñez, who started on the bench for the second time this season, and the Peruvian remained in the center. defense. In addition, Hugo Mallo returned after serving a suspension, and the Portuguese decided to reward Paciência’s good play as a refresher, giving him a place in the game at the expense of Haris Seferović.

Beginning

Dominant Celta who went for less

Celta had a great first quarter of an hour, with complete control of the ball, playing in the Elche field, creating danger and shooting three times on goal. The cleanest were Paciênca, Hugo Mallo and Renato Tapia, who almost surprised Edgar Badía with a foul. But the team from Elche, uninhibited and driven when they knew they had no real options to stay in the First League, went further, betting on high pressing, balancing the game and creating more and more problems for the team from Vigo.

Development

More opportunities than football

Celta finished the first act with six shots on goal and two blocked shots, more chances than games. Both the Celtics and the opponent played in jerks, with even possessions that even fell to the opponent’s side at halftime despite the initial heavenly monologue. Galán took one from Elche almost on the line and Aspas had one of the clearest to overtake his team but still no good.

continuation

More balls, but too much precipitation

The second half started with the same protagonists and a similar scenario. Celta tried to control the ball but were rushed in the end. Carles Pérez called for a penalty, but Díaz de Mera went to look at the game and found that there was nothing.

Outcome

Header to add

Larsen took over for Paciência after he didn’t play last week and came out with a lot of momentum but no success. With a quarter of an hour to go, Carvalhal decided to Miguel Rodríguez (who almost scored with a great shot from outside the box that was saved by the visiting goalkeeper), Franco Cervi and Oscar Rodriguez. In the last minutes, Celta was reminiscent of the one from the first, also due to the lack of a goal despite the dominance. But in the end the reward came.
