Real Sociedad vs Celta de Vigo

Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo played out a goalless draw at the Reale Arena, though the scoreline barely told the story of the game. The hosts dominated for long stretches, doubling up Celta on shots and pushing hard for a breakthrough, but found goalkeeper Ionut Radu in inspired form between the posts. Neither side managed to find the net despite Sociedad racking up 16 attempts to Celta's 7, and the visitors' keeper repelled everything thrown at him to earn the game's top rating. The match stayed feisty without boiling over, with yellow cards shown to Yangel Herrera for the hosts and Yoel Lago, Marcos Alonso and Couhaib Driouech for Celta, plus a late booking for Luka Sucic. No penalties or red cards were awarded. For Real Sociedad, it's a case of two points dropped after controlling the game without reward, leaving them mid-table early in the campaign. Celta Vigo will take real encouragement from a resilient road point, with Radu's display offering a foundation to build on despite their slow start to the season.
