RC Celta de Vigo played to a 1-1 away draw with Getafe on Monday, a result that worsens their start to the LaLiga EA Sports season. The goal at the Coliseum Stadium was scored by the home forward, Martín Satriano.
The team managed by Claudio Giráldez is facing a tough opening to the campaign. After four matchdays, Celta sits in 17th place in the standings, with just two points from two draws and two losses. Their recent form is DLLD and their goal difference stands at one scored and four conceded. This leaves them ten points behind the leaders, Barcelona.
How did the match unfold at the Coliseum?
Getafe, coached by José Bordalás, proved effective on their home turf. The decisive moment came with Martín Satriano's goal, which he celebrated with his teammates afterwards. Midfielder Ramón Terrats was a key piece in the centre of the park for the hosts. For Celta, the defence featuring Carl Starfelt and Marcos Alonso tried to withstand the local pressure but couldn't avoid defeat.
The match highlighted the offensive struggles of the sky-blue team, who have only scored one goal all season. This lack of cutting edge has become an urgent concern for Giráldez, especially with significant absences in the squad.
Which players are currently sidelined for Celta?
Celta enters this phase of the season with sensitive absences. Midfielder Aleix Febas and forward Borja Iglesias are currently injured. Their absence limits the manager's options, forcing him to find solutions within a squad that needs to find effectiveness. The recovery of these players will be crucial to improve the team's performance in the coming weeks.
What is Celta Vigo's next fixture?
The chance for a reaction comes quickly. RC Celta de Vigo will play their next match at home against Malaga on Sunday, September 13th. It will be a direct clash in the lower part of the standings, as the visiting team occupies 18th place. A win is almost mandatory to climb out of the relegation zone and build confidence.
Giráldez and his team have few days to work before a match that looks decisive. All information about the club's schedule is available on our fixtures page. The match against Malaga at Balaídos is scheduled for September 13th, 2026.
