Espanyol Draws with Celta in Thrilling Match

omidbasir- Espanyol has drawn 2-2 against Celta in a dramatic match that ultimately ended in a stalemate. The year 2026 has proven to be challenging for the blanquiazules, with just two points earned from the last 21 available. This marks their seventh consecutive game without a victory, including a troubling four matches without a win at home.

Once a formidable fortress during the first half of the season, the RCDE Stadium is no longer the stronghold it once was for Manolo González’s team. Following their loss in the derby against Barcelona in early January, Espanyol has struggled, tallying three more home games without a win—suffering defeats against Girona and Alavés, alongside this recent draw against Celta.

The first half saw Espanyol underperform, falling behind to a goal from former youth player Ferran Jutglà. Despite their struggles on the field, Espanyol displayed resilience and determination, managing to turn the game around in the closing moments.

With goals from Kike García in the 67th minute and Dolan in the 86th, it appeared victory was within reach for Espanyol. However, in added time, Borja Iglesias leveled the score, securing a final result of 2-2. This late equalizer was a bitter pill for the Espanyol fans, who witnessed yet another missed opportunity for a win. Nonetheless, the draw allows Espanyol to maintain their lead over Celta and hold onto the sixth position.
