Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Estadio Martinez Valero that hosts another battle between Elche CF and RC Celta de Vigo.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Eduardo Coudet might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' RC Celta de Vigo have won 378 goals from 327 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Santi Mina suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Thiago Galhardo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' A moment of madness from Josan Fernandez on 35 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Elche CF will be frustrated.
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. RC Celta de Vigo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 61' The RC Celta de Vigo manager makes a substitution. Nolito departs to be replaced by Franco Cervi.
  • 66' Elche CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 70' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Thiago Galhardo is hanging Brais Mendez on the field on 70 minute.
