After a 1-1 home draw against 10-man Cadiz, Celta Vigo's winless streak in Spanish league games has now reached 11 games. With their lone shot on target during the first half, the visitors claimed the lead. After fifteen minutes, Chris Ramos stepped up to head in a cross that came in from the right. Celta Vigo was pushing hard to move out of the bottom three spots in La Liga, and their prospects were enhanced thirty minutes in when Victor Chust, a defender for Cadiz, was sent off for a challenge on the edge of the penalty area. Referee Jesus Gil believed that Chust's and forward Iago Aspas's collision was not serious.
Soon after the break, Jorgen Strand Larsen scored his 50th goal for the team, giving the home team the equalizer they so richly deserved. For the remainder of the match, Celta dominated and had 25 shots on goal compared to Cadiz's two, but David Gil, the custodian, was playing brilliantly.
