The seventh day of La Liga continued this Thursday with two matches scheduled for 7 p.m. At Balaidos de Vigo, a poorly ranked duel pitted Celta against Alavés. Eighteenth at kick-off, the club coached by Rafael Benitez quickly took advantage of the opponent’s defensive fragility to open the scoring with an own goal from the unfortunate Rafa Marin (1-0, 35th, csc). In front at the break despite the overall domination of the visitors, Vigo finally cracked in the second half with a goal from young Samu Omorodion (1-1, 73rd).

With this draw (1-1), Alavés is 15th. Vigo gains one place and finds itself 17th. In the other evening meeting, Granada and Real Betis also parted with a parity score (1-1). If Assane Diao had opened the scoring for Isco’s teammates (0-1, 51st), Lucas Boye finally allowed the Rojiblancos to grab the point of the draw a few moments later (1-1, 67th). In the standings, Betis is 10th. Granada remains stuck in a dangerous 19th place.
