Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. RC Celta de Vigo host Girona FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Girona FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Iago Aspas, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Balaidos with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 320 games and scored 375 goals.
- 20' What a moment for Portu! That strike on 20 puts his side firmly in control.
- 25' The travelling Girona FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RC Celta de Vigo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' Carl Starfelt, a Sweden , has 18 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rafa Benítez might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 50' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Daley Blind.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 60' 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 Miguel Rodriguez suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' RC Celta de Vigo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 66' A tactical swap from RC Celta de Vigo — Mihajlo Ristic on, Manuel Sanchez off on 66 minutes.
- 69' Another change for Girona FC made on 69 minute. Portu leaves to be changed by Ivan Martin.
- 71' Controversy at the stadium! Renato Tapia argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 76' named a 3-4-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 78' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Miguel Rodriguez is hanging Renato Tapia on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' Girona FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Valery is hanging Viktor Tsyhankov on the field on 83 minute.
- 88' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Girona FC players.
