RC Celta de Vigo battle to a valiant draw against CD Leganés in a pulsating LaLiga encounter

A rollercoaster of emotions in Vigo as Celta held by spirited Leganés

Celta de Vigo fought valiantly to secure a point against a resolute CD Leganés side at the Abanca-Balaídos.

The hosts started brightly, with Brais Méndez displaying his creative prowess and Santi Mina troubling the Leganés defense with his pace. However, it was the visitors who drew first blood when Javier Eraso capitalized on a defensive lapse to fire Leganés ahead.

Celta responded resolutely, and their persistence paid off when Denis Suárez equalized with a stunning strike from outside the box. The second half was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the decisive goal.

Leganés's tenacity was evident throughout the match, with Aitor Ruibal and Sabin Merino putting in tireless performances. Celta, despite dominating possession, struggled to break down the visitors' well-organized defense.

As the game entered its final stages, Celta threw everything forward in search of a winner. However, Leganés held firm, with goalkeeper Iván Cuéllar making several crucial saves to secure a valuable point for his side.

The draw leaves Celta in 17th place in the LaLiga standings, while Leganés remains in the relegation zone. Both teams will be looking to build on this result when they return to action next weekend.
