Celta Vigo II secured a 2-0 victory over Seuta in the fourth round of the Segunda División on Saturday evening. The visitors took all three points at the Estadio de la Cerámica, extending their unbeaten run away from home. The match finished with the scoreline reflecting Celta's superiority, though the final minutes brought added drama.
Adrià Capdevila opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, giving the visitors a half-time lead. By then, Seuta had already seen two yellow cards and were looking to regroup after the break. The goal came from a well-worked move that saw Celta's midfield control the tempo before the final pass found Capdevila.
And here's the thing about the second goal: Bernard Sarpong Somuah only made it 2-0 in the 90+3rd minute, but not before Albert Caparros received a red card in the 89th minute. That dismissal changed everything, leaving Seuta chasing shadows in stoppage time. The hosts had already made four substitutions by half-time, including two for players who would later pick up cautions.
To be fair, the statistics tell a story Celta deserved to win. They created six big chances compared to Seuta's three, and their expected goals figure of 2.43 dwarfed the home side's 1.29. Seuta registered six shots on target but could not find the net, while Celta converted their opportunities with clinical precision. Possession was evenly matched at 52-48 in Celta's favour.
By then, Seuta's winless run had stretched to four games, leaving them bottom of the table with zero points. Celta Vigo II moved up to fifth with seven points from four matches. The result means Seuta's poor start continues, while Celta are positioning themselves firmly in the upper half of the division.
