Iago Aspas scored for Celta, got injured in celebration and made a smart decision - Spain

The striker left the match after the 16th minute, still 1-0 on the scoreboard

Iago Aspas was one of the highlights of the day in La Liga. The neighboring country’s international striker opened the scoring after the 11th minute, in a match that Celta lost to Valencia (1-2). But in celebration of the goal, the 34-year-old was injured and forced to surrender in the match after 16 minutes by Renato Tapia. It was at this moment that the experienced footballer realized that he has an acumen beyond the ordinary and is not often seen in the moment of adversity. Knowing that he was on edge in terms of yellow cards, he chose to take off his shirt while still inside the four rows. Referee Ricardo de Burgos had to warn him, and therefore Aspas will miss Celta’s next meeting, against Mallorca, on Friday, in preparation for the seventeenth round of the Spanish League. Aspas complained about the confidants in his right thigh and immediately realized that he would not be able to act again in the next few days. Thus, it prevented him from returning to his clinical fitness and the unfulfilled game of punishment. Thus, this suspension will already be implemented during the Spain international’s recovery period on 18 occasions.

As for the match, Valencia won, as we mentioned, by jumping Portuguese Gonzalo Guedes off the bench in the 83rd minute to replace the Angolan international Helder Costa. Che’s goals were scored by Hugo Douro and Maximiliano Gomez.
