Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between RC Celta de Vigo and Elche CF is underway.
  • 5' David Affengruber needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Elche CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 14' What a strike from Hugo Alvarez! The score is 1-0.
  • 19' Elche CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 24' The travelling Elche CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' Gonzalo Villar was booked on 28.
  • 30' Goal! Iago Aspas scores his 110 goal in 119 matches.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' 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.
  • 41' That looks like a foul for a card for Javi Rueda.
  • 46' Andre Silva has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 51' It looks surprising RC Celta de Vigo does not make any changes. Alvaro Rodriguez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' It’s high time Eder Sarabia made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
  • 66' Elche CF looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Andre Silva scoring 1 goals.
  • 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ilaix Moriba made 513 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 76' RC Celta de Vigo is showing some good football. However, RC Celta de Vigo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 81' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 82' GOAL! Andre Silva scores on 82.
  • 83' Yoel Lago was booked on 83.
  • 85' GOAL! Borja Iglesias scores on 85. Assisted by Williot Swedberg
  • 90' 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 Marc Aguado suffering a number of foals already.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
