Celta Vigo's European hopes took a serious knock after a 1-2 home defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League on Thursday. Pablo Durán gave the hosts the lead on 12 minutes with a shot that hit the post before crossing the line, but Zeneli turned the match around with two goals, one before halftime and another right after the restart, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Giráldez had made five changes after the 3-0 win at Vallecas, and his side had chances to extend the lead, but goalkeeper Koffi was in inspired form. VAR awarded a penalty for a handball by Javi Rueda, but Radu saved Zeneli's spot kick.

Celta have still not won a European home game and have only 3 points from four matches, outside the top 24. Union, on 10 points, remain fourth.
