RC Celta managed to snatch a precious point against R. Valladolid (1-1) in the last play of the match thanks to a header by Jeison Murillo. Coudet’s team, who faced an opponent that tried to waste as much time as possible, now have 30 points.
The sky blues team tried to dominate from the opening whistle, accumulating ball possession and moving the ball with speed. However, the pucelano team defended with order and did not allow the home team much space.
The most dangerous chances in the first half came from Iago Aspas and Brais Méndez, although their shots were rejected by the visiting defenders. Hugo Mallo also had some dangerous chances. In these first 45 minutes, Renato Tapia was shown a yellow card that will prevent him from playing the next match.
In the second half, the match became rougher and the game was interrupted on numerous occasions because of the opponent’s time-wasting, who took advantage of their only chance in the whole match to get ahead on the scoreboard with twenty minutes to play.
RC Celta did not give up and got the equalizer in the last minute thanks to a sensational header by Jeison Murillo after an assist from Iago Aspas.
