Alavés lose 2-1 at Vigo as Radu shines and they fail to score

Alavés left Balaídos with a 2-1 defeat against Celta Vigo, failing to turn their run around. Goals came from Jutglà and Javi Rodríguez, while the babazorros created enough chances to fight for a draw.

Led by Quique Sánchez Flores, the side had looked less sharp in their previous two matches (vs Athletic and Atlético). In Vigo they pushed hard in the final third: they registered 20 attempts, with nine on target. But Radu’s performance—eight saves—kept the Glorioso ahead. Boyé and Mariano were the closest, both especially dangerous when the visitors were throwing numbers forward.

The pattern is clear: more attacking output, less finishing. With their points tally low—1 point from the last 15 available—the next chance arrives on Friday at Mendizorroza against Málaga, to end the drought, according to MARCA.
