The difference-makers

RC Celta de Vigo. Pablo Durán Fernández sostiene la producción ofensiva de RC Celta de Vigo al acumular dos tantos, mientras que el resto de los aportes se reducen a conversiones aisladas. Sin su presencia en el marcador, el equipo depende exclusivamente de una estructura defensiva que ya dejó su arco invicto en la mitad de sus presentaciones.

Real Betis Balompié. While Abdessamad Ezzalzouli leads the visiting attack with multiple conversions, the collective output remains vulnerable to defensive pressure away from home.
