Real defeated Celta Vigo in a match with two own goals

In the 28th round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Celta at their home ground. The team, under the guidance of the legendary Rafael Benitez, arrived in Madrid as underdogs and were in desperate need of points to escape the danger zone. On the contrary, Real Madrid needed to win to maintain their seven-point lead over Girona, who won their match in the current round yesterday.

The hosts had the opportunity to decide the winner of the match in the first half, but instead, they only managed to score once. Vinicius reacted first to a rebound in the middle of the first half and sent the ball into the unprotected net. In the second half, Real's attacks were not as dangerous, as the team played defensively with a positive result in mind. Celta couldn't come up with anything in response to Andrey Lunin's goal, but made some significant blunders near their own. First, Guaita accidentally redirected the ball into his own net, and then Dominguez repeated his partner's "achievement" in an attempt to clear the ball. Arda Güler sealed the match with a spectacular strike, scoring his debut goal for Real.
