Real Betis Balompié maintained their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 LaLiga campaign after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against RC Celta de Vigo at Balaídos Stadium. The result leaves Betis on five points (W1, D2) while Celta remain winless after three games (D2, L1).
The opening exchanges were cagey, with Betis enjoying more possession. Cucho Hernández tested Celta’s defense early, but it was veteran defender Marc Bartra who finally broke the deadlock just before halftime, rising highest to head home Giovani Lo Celso’s corner.
Celta Vigo’s Resilience
Celta came out firing in the second half, showing urgency in front of their home fans. Just three minutes after the restart, Hugo Álvarez equalized with a composed volley after Betis keeper Álvaro Valles failed to clear a corner effectively.
The equalizer lifted Celta’s confidence, as they grew sharper in possession and threatened on multiple occasions. Substitute Ferran Jutglà nearly sealed all three points late on with a free header, but Valles redeemed himself with a crucial save to preserve the draw.
Betis’ Strong Start, Celta’s Early Struggles
For Real Betis, this result marks their first unbeaten three-match start to a LaLiga season in three years. Manuel Pellegrini’s side has now lost just once in their last 10 league outings (W4, D5), showing consistency that could push them toward a European spot this campaign.
Meanwhile, Celta de Vigo’s struggles continue. Despite dominating recent head-to-heads against Betis (only one defeat in nine), they remain winless in LaLiga this season. Pressure is mounting on their attack to start converting chances into wins if they want to avoid a relegation battle later on.
