FT Celta Vigo 1 Real Sociedad 2
LaReal control the 2nd half & get a very important win in the battle for 4th.
First Half Celta played well started a bit slowly as the game was stop start due to injuries but as the half went on Celta got better we’re good out of possession not..

Allowing Brais Mendez particularly to have the ball.
On the ball they were good as well struggled to create lots of chances but had decent play in LaReals half nice link up play between Larsen & Aspas. & with Mallo & Galan pushing on from fullback this caused LaReal problems…

Because of LaReal diamond midfield.

Celta got a equaliser when Zubimendi gave possession away so cheaply in LaReals build up he passed too Iago Aspas who had a 1v1 & finished well past Remiro.

LaReal also started well having to adapt to the stop start game they also struggled

To create many chances because Celta were well organised pressing Mendez & Silva every time they had the ball to make it difficult for LaReal to be effective at their normal way of playing.

Even though of course LaReal as always are happy to be patient with their build up play.

LaReal took the lead when they had a bit of control & patient build up through midfield the ball is worked to Gorosabel he picks our Mendez who makes a good run into the box he can’t sort his feet out the ball is cleared to Asier Illarramendi who shoots fantastically with his…

Left foot into the bottom corner to score his first goal since 2018.

Second Half Celta competed well but struggled to break down LaReal when they had possession they didn’t use it well enough or quick enough to create quality chances they couldn’t get Mallo or Galan high up the

Pitch from fullback. Celta had a couple of efforts from distance with Carles Perez forcing Alex Remiro into a fantastic save.

Disappointing result for Celta but after a decent first half performance they struggled in the 2nd but gave everything just made a few wrong decisions..

While attacking.

LaReal we’re fantastic completely controlled the 2nd half they used possession better with Merino coming on they created a couple of good chances the best being a lovely free flowing move involving Sorloth, Zubimendi & Merino his shot was saved & Galan had to…

Clear off the line to prevent Kubo scoring.

Out of possession their organisation was solid pressing was good forcing Celta back at every opportunity & LaReal carried a threat on the counter. Very important win for LaReal fully deserved in the end.
