Stoppage-Time Penalty Denies Girona First Win in Vigo

Celta’s late equaliser capped sustained pressure from Claudio Giráldez’s possession-based side.

Overview

  • Vladyslav Vanat scored on his Girona debut after 12 minutes to give the visitors the lead.
  • Borja Iglesias converted a 92nd-minute penalty after Blind fouled Rueda, with referee Cordero Vega pointing to the spot.
  • Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga produced multiple important saves to preserve the advantage until stoppage time.
  • Girona remain winless and in the relegation places after three defeats to start the season followed by this draw.
  • Celta registered a fourth consecutive draw as Míchel’s team integrated recent signings Vanat and Azzedine Ounahi and coped without Thomas Lemar and Viktor Tsygankov.
