Overview
- Iago Aspas won and converted a 53rd‑minute penalty after a high press led to a one‑on‑one with goalkeeper Antonio Sivera.
- The game shifted after a sterile first half in which neither team recorded a shot on target.
- Claudio Giráldez moved from an initially creative front line to bolstering midfield and defense to see out the result.
- The victory is Celta’s third consecutive LaLiga away win, their first such run in eight years, and it produced their first clean sheet of this league campaign.
- Celta climbed above Alavés in the table and now visit Ludogorets on Thursday seeking to extend their positive run.
