Iago Aspas, at 37 years old, continues to leave drops of quality that decide games in favor of his team. From his boots came, among many other positive actions, an assist to Douvikas that earned the victory against a Getafe that lost Djené in the first half and was left with one less in the second due to the expulsion of Berrocal, his substitute. Celta ends its streak of two consecutive defeats and returns to the middle of the table against a rival that only has one point above relegation.
Celta had difficulties getting out of their field in the face of Getafe’s advanced pressure… until Iago Aspas appeared. The Prince of Bateaswith a little luck, He appeared on the back line and placed a cross that surpassed Soria so that Douvikas could easily score the 1-0. Not even seven minutes had passed and the people from Vigo were already able to celebrate the goal by dedicating it to the Valencians.
Reacting to that blow that breaks all your schemes was not easy for Bordalás’ team, although Carles Pérez, a player on loan from Celta, tried with a cross shot. The Catalan did not remember his friends. But even more dangerous was another Aspas-Douvikas connection. Soria, on this occasion, was fine in his exit to block the Greek’s shot.
Bordalás punishes
His coach, however, did not like the weakness of his defense at all. And to make matters worse, Djene brokea moment that he took advantage of to also remove, for tactical reasons, Nabil Aberdin. The Moroccan was singled out half an hour into the game in his first start in two months. Berrocal entered through the first, who would end up expelled- and through the second the Toro Álvaro Rodríguez, changing to a much more offensive drawing.
While they were adjusting the new system, Mingueza was close to making a profit. But Geta’s changes took effect and the first half ended with the visitors taking the initiative. Just as the second began, with a shot by Álvaro Rodríguez that was saved by Guaita well placed, a direct free kick from Milla to the barrier and a Starfelt that had to multiply in defense against the Madrid attacks.
Blades, what kind
Maybe he’s no longer able to play 90 minutes of every game. Or yes. The fact is that when his people were most stuck, again The capi appeared to put fear into the rival’s body with a shot at the wood. Immediately, Douvikas missed another clear header. And then they were left with one more for the aforementioned Berrocal’s expulsion for a double yellow. What a mistake the central defender made.
The only thing that was worth it for Geta was the heroic one, although Uche, dissolved, couldn’t beat everyone. So the end of the clash was a continuous blue suffering seeing Hugo Álvarez and Borja Iglesias forgive the second several times. The Panda would later get it right, although the action went offside. The score remained as it was, 1-0, enough for the Olívicos to return to peace after the defeats against Madrid and Leganés.
