Celta Vigo secured a dramatic 1-0 victory against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, stunning the home side with a late winner that underscored their tactical resilience in LaLiga.
Marcos Alonso delivered the decisive blow in the 88th minute, converting a well-crafted opportunity that ultimately separated the two sides in a tightly contested match. Despite enjoying less possession—controlling just 41.3% of the game—Celta Vigo demonstrated remarkable efficiency, registering an impressive seven shots on target compared to Sevilla's mere two.
The visitors' strategic approach paid dividends, with their clinical finishing proving more consequential than Sevilla's territorial dominance. Alonso's winning goal epitomized Celta Vigo's opportunistic performance, punishing the home team's inability to convert their possession into meaningful chances.
This crucial away victory significantly boosts Celta Vigo's league standing and morale. The team now looks forward to their upcoming home fixture against Rayo Vallecano on January 18, riding the momentum of this hard-fought triumph.
