  • 24' RC Celta de Vigo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Valencia CF backline.
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Goncalo Guedes made 426 appearances and scored 37 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' It looks surprising RC Celta de Vigo does not make any changes. Daniel Wass has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 36' The referee has no hesitation. Maxi Gomez is booked for Valencia CF — Yellow card on 36.
  • 41' Valencia CF have won 401 goals from 426 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 46' A quiet spell here at Abanca Balaidos. Valencia CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.

  • 58' A change in the RC Celta de Vigo ranks — Franco Cervi exits the field as Augusto Solari enters on 58.
  • 63' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 68' Valencia CF looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 73' A tactical swap from Valencia CF — Toni Lato on, Cristiano Piccini off on 73 minutes.
  • 74' Jeison Murillo is replacing Nestor Araujo for the RC Celta de Vigo side.
  • 79' 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.
  • 83' The Valencia CF bench stirs into life. Maxi Gomez is withdrawn and Maranhao gets his opportunity.
  • 84' Time for substitution for Valencia CF. Hugo Duro is replaced by Yunus Musah.
  • 89' Maranhao has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 327 appearances.
