Pellegrino-led Cádiz Holds Its Ground Against Villarreal
In a recent match, Cádiz, under the leadership of Mauricio Pellegrino, exhibited resilience in their 0-0 standoff against Villarreal. This continues their growing strength and momentum, building upon their previous victory against Athletic Club.
Real Betis Secures a Draw Against Getafe
In another demanding encounter on matchday 23 of LaLiga EA Sports, Real Betis managed to secure a draw (1-1) against Getafe. However, this result failed to help them secure a spot in the European zone. Despite the draw, the Betic team faced significant challenges against the ‘Geta’ team, who took control of the game at the Benito Villamarín, even though it was their third game of the week.
Throughout the match, Getafe managed to tie up Betis, making it an uncomfortable experience for them. Betis initially took the lead through Fekir but later conceded a penalty that Greenwood successfully converted, taking the score to 0-1.
Despite the efforts of Isco and Rodri to steer the local game, the pressure from Madrid made it difficult for them to progress. Betis barely escaped the second penalty after the VAR intervened. Subsequently, Isco converted the penalty, following which Bordalás introduced Borja Mayoral in the second half, adding more speed to Getafe’s game.
Greenwood posed significant challenges for Miranda’s side, with Fekir taking the last shot for Betis. They regretted Isco’s injury and the draw, failing to capitalize on Real Sociedad’s draw on Saturday. The Madrid team now finds itself in the middle of the table, competing in a demanding field with a deep bench.
RC Celta Achieves Crucial Victory Against Osasuna
On Sunday, RC Celta, in dire need of points, managed to secure a crucial 0-3 victory against Osasuna. This win helps them distance themselves from the relegation zone. The team, under the leadership of Rafa Benítez, took a 0-2 lead in the first half with goals from Larsen and De la Torre and maintained it till the end.
Douvikas added a third goal in the 90th minute, securing the win for Celta. The team exhibited a solid defensive performance that left no room for surprises and made it difficult for the home team to penetrate. Despite this setback, Osasuna, with 26 points, remains in a comfortable zone, maintaining a safe distance from the relegation zone.
Cádiz Continues to Hold Its Ground
In Pellegrino’s second game as the head coach, Cádiz managed to secure another draw, marking their 17th point and avoiding relegation. Their opponents, Villarreal, despite their impressive five-goal spree against Barça last week, struggled to break through Cádiz’s solid defense.
While Chris Ramos and Alejo provided some respite for the visitors, the majority of the chances fell in favor of the home team. Álex Baena, Guedes, and Morales pressured Cádiz’s defense throughout the match, but Pellegrino’s strategy held firm. However, the team still awaits its next victory, having gone 19 consecutive matches without a win.
