However, the ‘Arsenalists’ allowed Celta de Vigo a domain that intensified in the last few minutes, with some dangerous approaches, which resulted in equality even closing the match.
The class of the Spanish Carlos Vicens would prove his own poison, suffering the tie also in a singing situation, with a strong heading of Carlos Domínguez, at 90+2, just before the final whistle.
