The Basque month of Celta has ended with the Galician team in the UVI and with Fran Escribá in the pillory. In his last four games, he has only won one victory against Athletic and, instead, three defeats, against Eibar, Alavés and this Sunday against Real Sociedad. And perhaps the latter is not the worst of the recent Celtic matches and in other circumstances would be a loss considered accidental. But it rains on wet and perhaps not even the expulsion of Cheikh serves as a mitigating for Scribe to keep his place on the bench of Balaidos .

Because at the end of the day, what weighs is the league classification, which leaves Celta with only nine points, a baggage only higher than Espanyol and Leganés , two teams that have already opted for a relay in the technical direction to straighten the course. An insufficient harvest for a conscientiously reinforced team this summer to turn the page of its horrible previous season and get closer to European positions. The problem, perhaps, is that Celta has more apparent than decisive footballers and who unquestionably is, Iago Aspas , does not find this year the superhero cape that has dressed the last seasons.

In this troubled river the Royal Society fished to rise to 19 points , the same as Atlético and Barcelona (with one game less for the postponement of the classic). It was not the most virtuous meeting of those of Imanol Alguacil , but it is not bad news for the Royal to discover that he can also carry out meetings in which he has to suffer more than look. The expulsion of Cheikh provided the San Sebastian with an opportunity to take the three points of Balaidos and took advantage of it through Isak , a forward with a splendid future ahead.

While the game was eleven against eleven, Celta was slightly better at points, but Santi Mina's lack of aim prevented him from taking advantage of it to get ahead on the scoreboard. After half an hour, the former Valencia headed a corner to the post and shortly after, again with the head, wasted a perfect center of Olaza . He had all the goal for him, with Remiro sold for his defense, and sent it to the stands. In the second part, he would end up taking his mistake with humor, simulating with his hands that he dedicates himself to throwing at the plate.

Balaidos began to circulate the restlessness of the teams in distress that do not take advantage of the frank opportunities available to them. That founded fear that sooner or later the rival will pass the bill for your mistakes. In spite of everything, he did not suffer Celta until Cheikh , in his first game as the starter of the season, made an improper mistake. He arrived very late to a split ball and took Zubeldia ahead. He spent a while on the ground, a traditional symptom of guilt, but the second yellow was already in the referee's hand.

It is not that Real took over the game from then on, but the numerical superiority was enough for him to score. Odegaard controlled very solidly in the area that until then protected Cheikh, he observed the unchecking of Isak and the Swede was fortunate to be successful in a noise with two defenses to beat Rubén Blanco . Scribe overloaded the attack in the final ten minutes, but it did not serve to score the goal of the tie and, perhaps, the one that would have guaranteed his immediate future on the bench of Celta.
