A great goal from Óscar Mingueza In the second part, when the Almeria I was already playing at an inferiority expulsion of Mozambican Bruno Langaallowed the Celta add three vital points (1-0) in his race for permanence, in a match in which his coach Rafa Benítez was playing for his position.
The visit of the bottom team, the only team that has not yet won in LaLiga, forced the Celta to bring out its most offensive version. Benítez’s team dominated from the beginning, althoughand football only generated it when Mingueza and Luca de la Torre came into play. Without Iago Aspas, who was in the yellow card cycle, the Galician team lacks a creative footballer in attack.
The bet on Tasos Douvikas did not work out for Rafa Benítez. The Greek striker did not appear in the first 45 minutes. His greatest danger is inside the rival area and his team barely touched him. But in the first half’s added time, a lateral cross from Fran Beltrán was enough for him to show his scoring skills. A great hand from Maximiano avoided 1-0.
Celta played with fear, and that Almeria gave him the ball. His dangerous actions almost always came from set pieces. In addition to Douvikas, center back Carl Starfelt enjoyed another very clear chance in the seventh minute. His header hit a post.
Even the disallowed goal against Jonathan Bamba came from a corner kick. The genius of Mingueza and the subsequent first pass by Luca de la Torre to the Ivorian, who beat Maximiano, were annulled due to an offside by Fran Beltrán after the corner.
Almería breathed. And shortly after Balaídos was silenced with a powerful long-range shot by Mozambican full-back Bruno Langa that crashed into a post. Given the passivity of the light blue footballers, he himself collected the rebound, but his second shot also went high. The reaction of Celtismo was to ask for the resignation of Rafa Benítez as he had already done when they called his name over the public address system before starting the game.
Nothing changed after passing through the locker room, except that Almería had lost Luka Romero in the final stretch of the first act after receiving a fortuitous kick in the face from his teammate Marc Pubill. Celta continued to dominate, but without generating clear chances, which forced Benítez to make a move: the Argentine Tadeo Allende replaced Douvikas, just after the Greek made a good maneuver inside the visiting area.
The panorama became much clearer for the Galicians with the expulsion of Bruno Langa, highly protested by visitors. The referee showed him a direct red card for a harsh tackle on Bamba, but very far from the area. From there, Celta locked their rival in their field. AND He got his reward with a great goal from Minguezawho placed the ball close to a post, impossible for Maximiano.
Celta, unlike what they did in Cádiz, did not back down. And he had the verdict after a quick counterattack led by Bamba, but Larsen ran into Maximiano in the 77th minute. That stop maintained uncertainty, although Almería did not scare. It was the Portuguese goalkeeper who stood out again in the 89th minute with another great save against Larsen.
