Overview

• Celta were second best for most of the match at the Martínez Valero and remain winless in LaLiga, edging toward the relegation places.
• Andrei Radu saved a Rafa Mir penalty and produced several key stops that kept the scoreline close.
• Borja Iglesias scored Celta’s goal, extending his run to five consecutive league matchdays with a strike.
• A tactical switch to three central midfielders with Ilaix Moriba pushed high failed to bring control, and the side did not register a single second-half shot.
• Ilaix was replaced at halftime due to gastric issues and Óscar Mingueza was withdrawn with workload and booking concerns, as Celta turn quickly to PAOK on Thursday and Atlético on Sunday.
