RC Celta and RCD Mallorca shared points at Son Moix. The Galicians, who managed to take the lead thanks to a masterful goal by Iago Aspas, returned home adding another match to their tally after an intense clash on the island.
In the first half’s start, the Celeste team displayed precise and fast play. Total dominance that Iago Aspas materialized by opening the score before the 10-minute mark with a spectacular goal following a ball steal by Manu Sánchez and a well-measured pass from Larsen. Despite the early advantage, Mallorca reacted and, just before the break, equalized the score.
In the next 45 minutes, Celta took to the field with determination, seeking their second league victory of 2024. The Celestes had opportunities but failed to break through Mallorca’s solid defense. The duel turned into a tightly contested battle until the final whistle, where neither team secured the three points.
With this draw, RC Celta earns a valuable point and focuses on its next challenge: on Wednesday the 17th at 20:00 hours, when they will face Valencia CF in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Meanwhile, in LaLiga EA Sports, they will host Real Sociedad in Abanca Balaídos at 21:00 hours on matchday 21.
