Villarreal managed to celebrate its first victory in La Liga, winning with a golden goal from Pérez in injury time at Sevilla’s home (1-2). A comeback win for Celta.
The first victory of the season for Villarreal is a fact! In a thriller match in Andalusia, the Yellow Submarine managed to escape with three points thanks to a goal from Pérez in injury time, prevailing over Sevilla with 2-1. The good day was evident from the… morning for Villarreal, as just in the 2nd minute, Danjuma opened the scoring.
However, in the dying moments of the first half, Lukebakio responded and restored the balance. In the 69th minute, VAR did not allow the exposed Comesana to give Villarreal the lead again, but eventually, they succeeded in the 90’+5′ thanks to a golden goal from Ayothe Pérez.
Comeback victory for Celta
Celta, led by Tasos Douvikas, who played as a starter for 66 minutes, made it 2/2 against Valencia, winning with a comeback 3-1 in the second matchday of La Liga. The Bats took the lead in the 14th minute when, after a prolonged phase, López found himself in the right spot, beating Villar with a close header. However, the Celts’ response was immediate.
In the 23rd minute, Mingueza equalized with a shot on the move after an assist from Aspas, with their roles reversing five minutes later. Mingueza sent a through ball to Aspas, who then finished perfectly for 2-1 and the comeback.
Moreover, Aspas had the chance to make it three for Celta in injury time of the first half, but Mamardashvili said “no” to him from the penalty spot. In the second half, the hosts “sealed” the victory thanks to Beltran’s… rocket that left Mamardashvili statue-like, with the score remaining 3-1 until the end.
