Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo played out a goaless draw today at the Estadio Balaidos on a rain soaked pitch. Real Sociedad had the better of the first half chances with Carlos Martinez coming close for the visitors. In the second half last weeks goalscoring hero was replaced by Daniel Estrada and nearly scored as he was put through on goal but Notario in goal saved well at his feet. Dinei then nearly scored for the hosts with a header from a corner but it went past the post. After the hour mark the pace of the game stepped up as both teams looked to score and on 63 minutes Xabi Prieto was brought on for Marcos and immediately positioned himself just behind Necati up front. Soon after on 71 minutes coach Lillo threw on another striker as Agirretxe replaced Moha. Celta replied by also throwing on another striker and the game began to open up with first Necati almost snatching a winner then Rosada for Celta going close. In the end both teams had to settle for a draw and for Real Sociedad fans their were plenty signals that the teams form is continuing to improve and must go down as a point gained rather than two lost. Please see below for the highlights of the match.
CELTA: Notario, Edu Moya, Ruben, Pena, Fajardo, Rosada, Michu, Oscar Diaz, Trashorras (Dani Abalo, 73 mins), Ghilès (David, 81 mins) and Dinei.
