Celta Vigo encountered minimal resistance during the Copa del Rey round of 128 on Friday 13 November. Jutglà netted two goals before the half-hour mark, while Swedberg contributed a late brace after Salamanca UDS were reduced to ten men.

The Galician side held a 3-0 lead at the break at Villares de la Reina. They concluded the match with goals from three distinct scorers and assists from five teammates, facing a Salamanca side managed by Jorge García.

Jutglà sets the tone in the first half

Jutglà initiated the scoring in the 15th minute by converting an assist from Milla. Eight minutes later he added another, this time set up by Febas, to establish Celta’s dominance.

Antañón extended the lead to three in the 39th minute following an Arcos assist. The outcome was effectively decided before the interval.

Levrand red card opens the door for Swedberg

Salamanca’s prospects dimmed after the restart. Murua received a yellow card in the 54th minute, and Levrand was issued a straight red card in the 61st minute, leaving the hosts with ten men for the final half-hour.

Celta’s sole caution occurred when Lago was booked in the 72nd minute. The visitors capitalized on the numerical advantage late in the game. Swedberg scored in the 80th minute from an Aspas assist and added a second in the 82nd, with Galán providing the pass.

Opara was also booked for Salamanca in the 89th minute as the hosts managed the closing stages.

The result mirrors the previous encounter between the clubs in this competition. Celta won 7-0 in Salamanca on 3 December 2024.
