In an intense Copa del Rey clash between Racing Santander and Celta de Vigo, the visitors emerged victorious with a 3-2 win. Celta de Vigo's attacking prowess was on display as they capitalized on their chances, notching crucial goals at key moments. Racing Santander showed resilience, equalizing early in both halves, but ultimately fell short as Celta de Vigo's superior tactical adjustments in the second half paved the way for their victory.

Celta de Vigo dominated the attacking play, evidenced by their overwhelming count of 11 corner kicks to Racing Santander's solitary effort. This constant pressure kept Racing's defense under duress, eventually resulting in defensive lapses that were skillfully exploited by Celta's forwards. Moreover, Celta de Vigo's ability to score from open play, both early in the first half and in quick succession during the second half, was pivotal in maintaining their momentum and securing the win.

Discipline was a key issue impacting both teams, with an accumulative 8 yellow cards handed throughout the match and Racing Santander receiving a critical red card. The dismissals and cautions significantly disrupted Racing's collective defensive organization and rhythm. Celta de Vigo, despite receiving more yellow cards, managed their game plan effectively to maximize their numerical advantage after Racing's red card incident. This strategic maneuvering in the face of aggressive pressure and disciplinary challenges highlighted Celta de Vigo's superior game management skills.
