Sabadell continues adding and returns from Vigo with a point (1-1)

BarcelonaSabadell continues to add points. Ferran Costa's team drew at Balaídos against Celta's reserve team in a match where they carried the weight of the game but lacked firepower (1-1). The territorial dominance of the arlequinats did not translate into clear chances in a match where they always showed the ambition to win away from home for the first time. Sabadell, however, seems to have been in the category their whole life, even though they are one of the debutants. They have craft and ambition. And they know how to take hits, only to get back up afterwards.

The arlequinat team entered the match in the worst way, as after six minutes Miki Codina handed the ball to the local player Marín, who did not forgive. As had already happened in the previous away game in Mallorca, a defensive error penalized the arlequinats. But on this occasion, Sabadell did react successfully. Despite not having clear chances, the dominance of the match belonged to a Sabadell side that equalized 23 minutes into the game thanks to an Edgar header that was deflected by a defender. A goal that was celebrated with a dedication to forward Nico Gioachinni, who underwent surgery this week. The American will miss at least six months of competition.

The Catalan team had the ball and posed a threat with crosses from the wings, but they also had to be alert to the home team's counter-attacks, which led to yellow cards for Edgar and Pere Pons, who was substituted at halftime to avoid injury. Costa brought on Àlex Baena in his place, an offensive change that allowed Sabadell to have even more control, but without creating clear chances. And when Baena scored after receiving an assist from Urri, he was offside by a very narrow margin.

Ferran Costa sought the win with more changes, bringing on the Russian Obolskii for Gastón Vallés, who had done little. Alain Ribeiro, one of this season's signings, who had been injured until now, also made his debut. But the Celta reserve team managed to defend their area, settling for a point that allows Sabadell to keep adding to their tally. In fact, a Catalan error in the final minute almost ended in a second home goal, but Eneko Aguilar prevented it with a great defensive action. Sabadell has only lost one match in their return to the Segunda and remains at the top of the standings, although they are still winless away from home. Today, however, the first goal at the Nova Creu Alta has arrived.
