Celta looks over the precipice

Seven defeats in the last nine games is a record from which it is impossible to escape unscathed. And he is the one who put Celta on the brink of the precipice after yesterday’s defeat in Cádiz, combining this result with the results of direct rivals for salvation. The team from Vigo seems like a dead team, which is not able to react even after several days of looking into the wolf’s ears. He is now booked for next Sunday’s game against Barcelona in Balaídos. The last bullet that will try to celebrate the centenary in Primera.

Eleven

The same lineup as on Tuesday against Girona

For the first time, Carlos Carvalhal repeated the eleven in two consecutive days. Although he left the door open to Iago Aspas in the previous one, in the end the Moañés did not return to the starting team, and Miguel Rodríguez made two consecutive starts. A 4-3-3 was once again the starting formation for the Nuevo Mirandillo duel, although Tapia currently came in between the centers.

beginning

Two arrivals from Carles and a little more

Celta seemed to get involved in the game, but it didn’t last long. Two arrivals of Carles and one of Renata Tapia in the first minutes were the baggage of the first act. The team barely had the ball and resisted as much as they could against a much fiercer Cádiz who gave more of a feeling that something important was being played.

Endurance

Solid defense with some issues

The team from Vigo had to face a team that won most of the distributed balls and that exploited the play on the wings very well. In return, Celta resisted in defense, albeit with difficulties from the central defenders and goalkeeper Iván Villar, who alternated good interventions with notable errors. Bongonda made the visiting team suffer.

VAR

Two decisions in favor

Just a week after Carvalhal said all the controversial refereeing decisions were against Celta, VAR favored the Vigo side in two almost consecutive actions. First, he disallowed a penalty awarded to De Burgos Bengoetxea and then denied the validity of what would have been Cádiz’s first goal for offside.

Changes

insufficient improvement

Carvalhal moved the bench with half an hour to go, bringing on Aspas, Mingueza and Paciência when the team was already behind on the scoreboard. Celta progressed, but it was not enough. The man from Moañés, who was not there for long, had to play very late and although he generated more football, his entry did not bring more chances for the team from Vigo. Paciência had a good chance shortly after stepping onto the pitch.

Outcome

end of agony

Cádiz had chances for a second goal against a broken Celta. Nine minutes of relief was the agony of the Vigović team.
