Celta Vigo II suffer defeat to Tenerife in Segunda División

Celta Vigo II left Tenerife empty-handed after a 0-0 draw on June 6, 2027. The Galician side’s reserve team struggled to break down a well-organized home side and slipped further away from the Segunda División’s promotion places.

What happened in the match?

Tenerife controlled the early exchanges but failed to convert their dominance into clear chances. Celta Vigo II, meanwhile, relied on swift counters and nearly broke the deadlock twice in the first half. Dani Rivas stood between the posts with two world-class saves in stoppage time to preserve the clean sheet for the hosts. The visitors’ best effort came from Hugo Álvarez, whose header rattled the crossbar in the 78th minute.

Celta Vigo II arrived in Tenerife on the back of two straight wins, including a 2-0 victory over Racing de Ferrol on May 23. The result left them 12th in the Segunda División with 48 points, 15 adrift of the playoff places.

Why this draw matters for Celta Vigo

The B-team remains the club’s primary talent conveyor belt. First-team call-ups this season include Iker Losada and Hugo Álvarez, both of whom have featured regularly in La Liga. Miguel Ángel Portugal, the filial coach, insists every point counts as the side fights to avoid the drop.

Upstairs, Celta Vigo wrapped up last term in 6th place in La Liga with 54 points (14W-12D-12L). Their final outing of the 2025-26 campaign was a 1-0 win over Sevilla on May 23, 2026. Eduardo Coudet’s first team is now targeting another top-half finish this season, 40 points adrift of Barcelona.

What’s next for Celta Vigo II?

A tough run of fixtures awaits. Next up is Albacete, a side with genuine promotion ambitions. Portugal has already hinted at squad rotation to keep fatigue at bay during this pivotal stretch.

The club continues to bet on its academy, with more than ten filial players training alongside the first team this season. Club executives are confident the youth pipeline will keep delivering. For now, the B-side must regroup and rediscover its winning touch to steer clear of the Segunda División’s relegation zone.
