After the interval, Valverde unleashed a fierce long-range right-footed shot that Radu saved in two attempts. The Whites kept pushing for a goal, but it was Celta who took the lead in the 54th minute with a backheel finish from Williot. In the 64th minute, the Whites were reduced to 10 men when Fran García was shown two yellow cards in quick succession.

Mbappé almost equalised with a lob after getting behind the defence, but the ball looped just over the bar. The Frenchman also had a chance to score from a free kick on the edge of the box, but Radu saved it. In the 86th minute, Gonzalo leapt to head a fine cross from Tchouameni, but his effort was just off target. In added time, referee Quintero González sent off Carreras and Endrick, who was on the bench, and Williot scored the second after some neat interplay.
