Celtic’s starting eleven against Alhaurín de la Torre (JOSÉ REQIENA
Celtic CF are still without a point after suffering their second defeat in their visit to ‘Los Manantiales’, home of Alhaurín de la Torre CF. The Verdiblancos, still in the construction phase, tried their luck against a team from Malaga, which is part of the group of teams that will fight for promotion.
The match did not start well for Celtic, as De los Santos beat Rubén Haro in the quarter-hour mark to put Alhaurín de la Torre CF ahead. Celtic tried to stretch after this goal but were unable to trouble the Malaga goalkeeper, and the half-time break was 1-0 down.
In the second half, Céltic tried to equalise, but Alhaurín de la Torre CF played very well and waited for their chance to finish off the game. In the 70th minute, the game was decided by Álvaro Vergara’s goal. The Verdiblancos tried but were not successful.
