CELTIC 2 – OSASUNA 0 | A triumph like Mallo water

Coudet’s scarf is a little less tight. The Argentine coach finally breathed calmly after the final whistle. This week you will be able to go out somewhere other than the supermarket, you will no longer have to stay locked up at home watching Planeta Calleja or Callejeros Viajeros. It is what triumph has, that sweetens your life even in the most everyday.

Celta did not need an excellent game to achieve this soothing victory. In fact, Two sparks were enough to end Osasuna’s resistance. All this seasoned with the lack of aim rojilla and the bad day of Herrera under sticks. Because the match was decided, or began to be decided, in the first two shots on goal (there weren’t many more). Budimir headed first, Mallo took the reply. The Croatian shattered the crossbar in the first few minutes, the marinense doubled Herrera’s weak hand after half an hour.

The success defined a match in which Osasuna started out rebellious, overwhelming Celta with continuous arrivals, both from set pieces and from play. The ball hovered around Dituro’s goal for a long time, but only Budimir was able to shoot. He did not have the prize that Hugo Mallo found later with a left foot that surprised everyone, especially Sergio Herrera.

Magic

The sentence of the duel was signed by Santi Mina before the break, one more shovelful to dig Osasuna’s grave. He did it in a choral play that makes clear the existing talent in the sky blue squad. Heel by Denis, assist by Aspas and goal by Santi Mina. The rojillos only saw the ball when it was already in the net.

Little else happened from then on. Celta took a step back in the second half to defend the rent obtained. Those of Arrasate did not know how to strike the knife. Continuous loitering again on the celestial goal, no ability to finish off. In fact, the only shot of the second half was a failed shot by Galhardo that Herrera was about to convert into the absurd goal of the day. He saved it on the line.
