Celta Vigo ended a month-long winless run with a 2-0 victory over Mallorca in La Liga on Friday. Goals from Hugo Álvarez and Iago Aspas secured three points for the hosts, lifting them to 10th place in the standings.
Mallorca, aiming to consolidate their sixth spot, began brightly and created early chances but were thwarted by an impressive Vicente Guaita in goal. Celta took the lead in the 32nd minute when Álvarez found the net. The visitors' troubles deepened late in the game as Antonio Raíllo received a red card for deliberate handball. With just eight minutes remaining, Aspas ensured victory by volleying home a rebound to cap off a clinical performance. Despite the loss, Mallorca stayed sixth, but the result highlighted Celta’s resurgence and defensive solidity, led by their in-form goalkeeper.
