“Real Sociedad make a double change, bringing on Jon Gorrotxategi and Luka Sucic in search of fresh legs to break down a stubborn Celta rearguard.”
“Celta continue to freshen their attack with Gonçalo Guedes and Alex Marchal introduced, adding more directness to their play as dangerous attacks piled up.”
“Couhaib Driouech booked for a foul as the match becomes increasingly feisty in the closing stages.”
“Luka Sucic booked for an off-the-ball foul, capping a bad-tempered final quarter with five cards shown across the two teams in the second half alone.”

Celta de Vigo
Outstanding performance
Celta de Vigo•GoalkeeperReal Sociedad dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting Celta 16-7 and winning 11 corners to just 3, but couldn't turn territorial control into a breakthrough against a well-organized Celta defense. Celta, despite conceding possession and generating fewer shots, actually created more dangerous attacks and looked sharper after Iago Aspas and Pablo Durán entered around the hour mark, injecting urgency into their play. The match turned scrappy in the second half, with five of the six cards shown after the break as both sides' frustration boiled over amid a flurry of fouls. Neither Sociedad's superior possession and shot volume nor Celta's second-half surge could produce a goal, leaving both clubs to fret over missed opportunities in mid-table given their positions in the standings.
