They say that ‘rush is not good’, but after a first part of exhausting calm, the storm ended up breaking out in the Celta – Atlético de Madrid. The need for a goal became more accentuated with each passing minute, making the game more beautiful the closer it got to the end.
An unfair argument for a match with a first half that resembled a chess game. The joy in the game was conspicuous by its absence, leaving the occasions to isolated plays in which a Iago Aspas very awake that he was celebrating 500 games with the light blue shirt.
Oblak, always present
A run from the ‘Prince of the Bateas’, which Reinildo closed well, and a shot from outside the area, which he stopped well A cloudwere the clearest. There was little of an Atleti that focused its chances on the centers without recipients that it put Griezmann.
The second half and the desire to break the immovable score opened the game. Sorloth and Julián Álvarez began to appear in the red and white team, and Borja Iglesias at Celta to stop building plays and start finishing against a very well-placed Oblak. If the tie was not broken it was largely thanks to the Slovenian.
Julian Alvarez He was not going to allow his goalkeeper’s great work to be in vain. Neither did Griezmann, with a cross that, this time, found the Argentine’s finisher. Between the two of them, they undid the lethargy of the tie so as not to take the red and whites out of the fight for the league and extinguish the smiles and chants in the Balaídos stands. A goal in the 90th minute which culminated a match that literally went from zero to one hundred.
The ‘other’ party of Reinildo and Borja Iglesias
Between occasion and occasion, another ‘match’ was being played in parallel. Reinildo against Borja Iglesias. Pushing, stomping, messages… Neither of the two players held anything back, they looked for each other and found each other early in the match.
The cards were inevitable: only Reinildo saw it, for forcing a ‘hug’ on Borja when he was completely stopped. ‘El Panda’ was freed when the game broke down in the second half.
