Continuation of the 14th day of the Spanish championship. If we had been treated to spectacular encounters between Real Sociedad and Villarreal (2-3) and a nice Sevillian derby won 2-0 by Betis, this Espanyol-Celta did not really enjoy. Even if both teams are obtaining good results this season, the spectacle was not there but the Catalans were able to win 1-0.

Despite a slight Galician domination, the two teams did not really worry their evening rival but the Pericos managed to take the three points thanks to Kike Garcia, author of a header from a corner in the 87th. Espanyol remains sixth and is holding on to European positions, while Celta drops to twelfth place.
