Liga: Cadiz catches Celta de Vigo but still does not advance

In general, September 1st marks the start of the school year for the 12 million French schoolchildren. In Cádiz, it’s slightly different, since this fateful date simply coincides with the Andalusian club’s last victory in La Liga. It has now been 22 matches since Mauricio Pellegrino’s players last experienced the joys of success.

Trailing 2-0 at the hour mark after the achievements of Iago Aspas (11th) and Swedberg (58th), they were finally able to show resilience to reduce the gap thanks to Juanmi (66th) then Darwin Machis in all final moments of the match (90+10th). In the standings, Celta de Vigo remains 17th (21 points), just ahead of its opponent of the day, Cádiz (18 points).
