Abanca Balaídos kept an emotional minute of silence in memory of partner number 3 of Celta before the start of the match. With that respect even in the environment, a match that ended with the distribution of points between Celta and Atlético de Madrid (1-1) on Day 8 of LaLiga EA Sports began. The celestial team added a point against a demanding opponent on a day in which he celebrated a special moment for his captain, Iago Aspas, who matched Manolo “or Great Captain” as the player with the most official matches in the history of the club, 533.
The meeting started with an unexpected blow to the Vigués team. In the 6th minute, Carl Starfelt unfortunately diverted a rojiblanco center towards his own goal and advanced to Atlético. The Simeone dominated the first measures, driving the rhythm and control of the game, but the script changed just before the break. In the 40th minute, Clément Lenglet was expelled by double yellow, leaving Madrid with one player less and opening the game to a completely different second half.
After the break, Celta took a step forward. The team became the owner of the ball, pushed by a hobby that kept encouraging. The insistence found its prize in the 68th minute, when Iago Aspas, always in the precise place, took advantage of a rejection inside the area, after an intervention of the goalkeeper, and marked the tie. With 1-1 on the scoreboard, Celta kept the pressure until the end, looking for a second goal that did not arrive. Atlético, ordered in defense, resisted with one less player and leaned on an inspired Oblak, which avoided the comeback with several decisive stops.
The Vigués set will now face a league stop with good feelings and with a solidarity commitment to view. This Wednesday 8, Abanca Balaídos will host the beneficial encounter “Xuntos against O LEME”, before returning to the competition against Real Sociedad.
