The dynamics of both teams invited to presage an exciting match, and it didn’t take long for sparks to fly between the two teams. The rojillos, commanded by Abde and spurred on by El Sadar, they turned to attack from the initial whistle. The Moroccan winger was a headache for the sky-blues, who could only stop their attacks with free kicks and sanchez martinez had to stop the game after five minutes so that his scuffle with bladeswho displaced him without the ball in between, did not go to majors.
Osasuna was enjoying himself on the pitch, and only the interventions of Iván Villar before two good attempts by Budimir and Aimar Oroz they were able to prevent the locals from inaugurating their goal locker. With the passing of the minutes, the revolutions gradually cooled down, and the chances for both teams came slowly until the end of the first act.
The script was maintained after passing through changing rooms, and Celta was not able to stretch until Seferovic entered. From a recovery of the Swiss the clearest occasion of the celestial ones was born, a caramel of Cervi directed to the heart of the area that Gabri Veiga He was not able to finish off comfortably.
The talent of O Porriño failed, which at this point in the season is already news, but his attempt marked the turning point for Celta to take control of the party. The celestial ones enjoyed and the rojillos suffered, which were entrusted to david garcia To minimize the damage caused by Veiga and blades.
When the locals were suffering the most, Abde and ‘Chimy’ took a step forward. The Moroccan winger hung a cross into the area that was poisoned in the direction of the goal. In view of the trajectory of the ball, the Argentine allowed the ball to pass between his legs to disconcert ivan villar, who watched helplessly as he ended up kissing the net. The joy was short-lived, as the action was annulled for offside by Osasuna’s ‘9’.
When the sunset of the game was close and both teams considered the tie as good, Iván Martín established himself as a hero. The sky-blue goalkeeper was huge to send a header from Pablo Ibanez in goal mouth that presumably would have tipped the balance in favor of the locals definitively.
