The game got off to a flying start, with Celta Vigo looking to break their recent stalemate. Just 10 minutes into the match, Iago Aspas, the team’s star striker, opened the scoring with a clinical finish.

Aspas’ goal-scoring streak continued, as he now has scored in four consecutive matches. His ability to consistently deliver in crucial moments has been instrumental in Celta Vigo’s recent turnaround. Manager Rubi praised Aspas’ dedication and impact on the team, stating, “Iago is the heart of this team. His work rate and composure are unmatched, and he’s a leader on and off the field.”
