Celta Fortuna
Sabadell
Outstanding performance
Sabadell•DefenderCelta Fortuna stunned the visitors with an early strike from Álvaro Marín inside six minutes, but Sabadell responded quickly through Edgar González off a corner just past the half-hour mark to level things up. From there, Sabadell took firm control, racking up 66 dangerous attacks to Celta's 7 and outshooting their hosts 10-4, yet couldn't find the breakthrough despite dominating possession and territory. Celta Fortuna, sitting mid-table but in decent form, showed defensive resilience to hold on for a point, with six substitutions and a flurry of cards showing how physical the second half became. The result leaves both sides with plenty to ponder - Sabadell will rue their inability to convert dominance into three points, while Celta can take heart from grinding out a draw against sustained pressure.

Celta Fortuna look to snap a two-game losing skid at home against a Sabadell side riding better form and sitting comfortably mid-table. With Balaídos backing them, the hosts need a response after back-to-back defeats to Eibar and Almería.
