RC Celta de Vigo and Getafe CF Draw 1-1 in a Match Marred by Controversy

Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga Scores a Wonder Goal, Getafe's Borja Mayoral Equalizes

RC Celta de Vigo and Getafe CF played out a 1-1 draw in a match marred by controversy at the Estadio de Balaídos on Monday. Gabri Veiga gave Celta the lead with a stunning strike in the first half, but Borja Mayoral equalized for Getafe after the break.

The game was overshadowed by a controversial decision by the referee to disallow a Celta goal in the second half. Iago Aspas thought he had put Celta back in front, but the goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR review.
