Espanyol begins with a draw in Balaídos in a match with alternatives in both areas. The white and blue team overcame the initial push from Celta thanks to the possession and the goal of Mario Hermoso on the edge of the break. When the Catalan team was playing better, the local goal equalized the match.

The forces were equalized in the game and on the scoreboard. Emre Mor scared Diego Lopez's goal. Sergio García and Dídac, in a last attack, had the opportunity to unleash the score. But nothing has moved. First point.
