Real Sociedad 2-2 Celta Vigo

Real Sociedad missed out on a fantastic opportunity to close the gap on the leaders after Zaragoza and Tenerife played out a 1-1 draw. Real found themselves 2-0 down in the first half after goals from Dinei (7mins) and Ghil (38 mins). Real pulled a goal back on 59 minutes after Abreu slotted home a penalty after Peña had handled in the box. Peña received a straight red card for the offence. Celta were reduced to 9 men after Dani Abalo received his second yellow card and Real went all out attack. They got the equaliser on 86 minutes through Necati Ates and Anostegi could have won it in injury time but in the end they had to settle for a draw. More bad news followed when it was revealed Mikel Aranburu, who was injured late in the game, suffered a fracture of the fibula in his right leg but will not require surgery. It will mean he will more than likely miss the rest of the season. Only a miracle will see Real return to the top flight as we really needed to win this one.

Real Sociedad: Bravo, Labaka, Ansotegi, Mikel González, Estrada (Necati, 55 mins), Rivas, Aranburu (Agirretxe, 78 mins), Moha, Xabi Prieto, Marcos Abreu.

Celta: Falcón, Edu Moya, Ruben Pena, Lake (Dabilo, 91 mins), Jonathan Vila, Renan, Jordi, Dinei (Fajardo, 73 mins) and Ghil (David, 82 mins).
