The match started bad for celta, as Valencia scored in the first oportunity the had. Corner taken by Celta, and the ball falls into Valencia's players and in a perfect counteratttack, Feghouli scored the first goal. Big mistake by Roberto Lago that chased the striker and left this part of the pitch wide open for the frenchman to score. Borja Oubiña was covering but he lost the mark thinking that Lago was going to be in his place. Once again Celta's defenders made it quite easy for their rivals to score.
That was all Valencia did during the first half. After the early goal, Celta midfield took control of the ball, leaving no chances for Valencia to get near Javi Varas' goal. Thespider web designed by Paco Herrera was doing the trick, and Natxo Insa, Borja Oubiña and Alex López did what they wanted with the game.
