MADRID, 21 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Levante UD made their stay in LaLiga Santander 2021-2022 a little more complicated after failing to go from a draw to a goal this Monday in their visit to Celta, in a match where they did not take advantage of their good chances and which closed the twenty-fifth day of the championship .
The ‘granota’ team arrived in Balaídos with the reinforcement of their great victory, second of the year, at the Wanda Metropolitano and with the hope of repeating to dream of salvation again after a weekend that had been beneficial due to the results of his rivals.
And the future of the game could have changed in his favor if Dani Gómez had not failed somewhat incomprehensibly with everything in his favor and a good internship by José Luis Morales. The ‘pass of death’ by the ‘Comandante’ left everything almost done for the striker, but he, hampered at the last minute by Aidoo’s cross, sent his shot to an empty goal outside.
This great occasion was the only noteworthy one in an even first half and where the locals could barely get close to Cárdenas’ goal in danger. The script did not vary excessively in the second part, more moved because the spaces were opening up due to the greater need of those of Alessio Lisci.
They had good options with a shot from Son, a header from Duarte and, above all, another close shot from Roger Martí that went close to the post. Right after this occasion, Celta struck and took the lead with a header from Cervi after a great cross from Galán.
However, the team from Vigo failed to calm down and control the clash and could not avoid Roger’s equalizer in the 82nd minute. Despite this, Pineda, in his debut with the “light blue” shirt, was able to leave the three points in Balaídos, but ran into Cárdenas’s foot. In this way, Celta is left with 32 points, seven from the European zone, while Levante adds 15, nine from salvation.
