Clenching his teeth in a steep match Valencia has managed to hold on to the Champions League positions. For the first time this season, it touches the objective that is marked as essential at the end of May. He has done it at a time of mourning when the victory looked like a prize too big. Carlos Soler appeared to catch a ball combed back by Maxi Gómez that unblocked a game that at that 76th minute was at the mercy of Celta. [Narration and statistics]

Both teams were tested from the start without either feeling too uncomfortable or otherwise. If those of Celades quickly approached Rubén's goal with a Wass shot fouled by Aidoo , Rafinha and Aspas answered putting Jaume Domenech to the test. Valencia rubbed the ball with some ease, but the Galicians found without difficulty where to do damage. The game creaked, but it didn't break towards any goal .

Óscar's lanes complicated Celades, who debuted Florenzi , a right-back with good spells that went down in attack forcing Rubén to draw a saving hand to a distant shot tight to the post. The feeling was that Valencia ruled, but Celta grew while Aspas did. Garay's injury left rivals knocked out, who were able to go to rest with the score against if Beltran had not stumbled a ball that Rafinha was waiting for only the second post .

Valencia coach wanted to change the stage with Rodrigo's entry to the field . The reason he was on the bench is due to the two weeks of marketing of the striker, who already know where he is and how important it is for his coach. Ferran, back to the band, warned that the zafarrancho began. And Celta grabbed the glove. A fault in the crescent moon of Aspas was taken by Parejo in a strange help that Jaume asked.

The game was opened and the Galicians, whose classification does not allow them to speculate, seemed to interpret it better. Better. So much that it became a constant swell towards the Valencian goal . The only relief for the locals is that they didn't bite. And it is that Aspas cannot be in everything.

Even so, they looked for all possible ways to put the Valencian goal in trouble. With this script, Oscar García wanted to be brave . He sacrificed his defense of three and two long lanes and to look for more gunpowder in the attack. The coach saw that the game leaned in his favor and did not want to miss it. He debuted his new czar, Smolov , and sought to make profitable the idyll of Santi Mina, cheered, with what was his stadium.

However, the coin he threw into the air came out from the side of the cross. A long pass from Diakhaby ended up in Ferran's boots, which focused him on Maxi's head to comb and leave Soler a candid shot to open the scoring. A boost of fortune for a Valencia that begins to look for its place in the League.
