Liga: Bilbao overthrow Celta de Vigo after a completely crazy match

Published:

By: Manu Tournoux

The supporters present at Anoeta this Friday probably got their money’s worth. Facing Celta de Vigo this Friday on the 13th day of La Liga, Bilbao was able to turn the situation around in the very last moments of an unbreathable encounter punctuated with twists and turns (4-3). However, everything did not start in the best conditions for the Basques. Picked cold by Iago Aspas, author of his first goal this season in La Liga (25th, 0-1), they still equalized around ten minutes later through Sancet (37th, 1-1).

If we imagined Vigo returning to the locker room with a one-goal advantage after the achievement of ex-Lille player Jonathan Bamba (41st, 1-2), Bilbao will have shown resilience to equalize straight away thanks to Guruzeta (45+4th, 2-2). It was he who allowed his team to go ahead at the start of the second half (52nd, 3-2), before Larsen equalized (66th, 3-3), only a few seconds after being disallowed a goal for offside. At the end of the match, Vigo paid a heavy price for Aspas’ miss from the penalty spot (72nd) as Berenguer dampened the Galician enthusiasm to seal his team’s victory from the penalty spot (90+7th, 4-3). A victory with character which allows Bilbao to secure 5th place at the end of this day. Vigo, for its part, gets bogged down a little further in its 18th place.
