Coudet’s team still can’t score a goal. RC Celta dominated against Real Sociedad from the opening whistle, with the constant presence of rain, pouring into the opponent’s area and linking two early chances in the boots of Nolito and Denis Suarez.
An excellent Ryan under the posts and the lack of luck prevented the sky blues from taking the lead, even with a triple chance on the stroke of halftime that incredibly did not end with the ball in the back of the net.
The match resumed after the break with the Vigo side maintaining their level, but a goal by Isak just after the start of the second half, disallowed in the first instance for offside but reviewed and awarded by the VAR as good, made things difficult.
Iago Aspas, Nolito, Brais Méndez… RC Celta tried again and again, but it was again Real Sociedad who, in one of their few chances, scored in a display of effectiveness. Elustondo scored the definitive 0-2.
