GOAL! CELTA VIGO 1-0 BARCLEONA (Gabri Veiga)
Wow! Balaidos erupts as Celta take the lead! The forward is played in from Seferovic, drifts into the box and strokes a low shot into the far bottom corner. What a moment!

GOAL RULED OUT!
Celta have the ball in the back of the net through Oscar Rodriguez, but he was offside when the initial shot - spilled by ter Stegen - was struck by de la Torre
40'
LEWANDOWSKI HITS THE POST.
The Polish international is allowed to cut in from the left flank and he curls a terrific effort towards the far post, only for the ball to brush the woodwork. That was close.
38'
OSCAR SHOOTS WIDE
That is a glorious chance for Celta. Perez hangs a deep cross up to the back post, de la Torre nods it down and Oscar Rodriguez, in acres of space, guides a shot wide
36'
A REMINDER OF THE SCORES ELSEWHERE
Cadiz are 1-0 up at Elche, Espanyol and Almeria are locked at 1-1, while Valencia trail 1-0 against Real Betis. However, as things stand, Real Valladolid are still heading down as the deadlock hasn't been broken in their game at home to Getafe, or in this clash between Celta and Barcelona
33'
BARCELONA DOMINATING POSSESSION
The visitors have had over 65% of the ball, but they're still only had one shot of note, with a couple of others ruled offside. Celta's defence is holding strong
30'
CELTA HOLDING THEIR OWN
The hosts have been impressive in the opening half hour and have had more than their fair share of chances. So far though, it remains goalless at Balaidos
27'
AND NOW BARCA COME CLOSE!
The visitors break immediately and Kessie heads wide at the far post from a deep cross
26'
OH WHAT A WASTE!
Celta have a golden chance on the counter-attack from the resulting corner, forcing five attackers on two, but Carlos Perez tries to do it all himself and has hit shot comfortably saved. There were so many passing options available!
25'
KESSIE SHOT SAVED
A lovely burst forward from the Barcelona man, beating the defender before seeing a shot towards the near post blocked away by the goalkeeper
22'
SEFEROVIC HEADER SAVED
Javi Gallan floats a dangerous cross in towards the penalty spot, where it's met by Seferovic, but his header lacks the power to truly test ter Stegen
20'
DE LA TORRE BLASTS OVER
A chance from outside the box for the American international, but he shoots way off target
17'
GOALS ELSEWHERE
Cadiz lead 1-0 at already relegated Elche, while Espanyol and Almeria are locked at 1-1
14'
ter STEGEN TESTED AGAIN
Veiga gets the ball on to his left foot and sends a rasping drive goalwards, but the big goalkeeper is there to deny him

HOLD ON!
He's offside by a very, very fine margin. The home fans breath a huge sigh of relief

GOAL! CELTA VIGO 0-1 BARCELONA (Franck Kessie)
This was not in the script for Celta! Franck Kessie picks up a loose ball in the area and confidently fires home. 1-0!

CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS
Raphinha runs on to Lewandowski's ball over the top before stabbing off target, while Veiga has a chance to round the 'keeper, only for his touch to take him too far wide to even think about the goalkeeper. As it happens, both players were offside anyway
8'
OSCAR RODRIGUEZ SHOOTS MILES WIDE
Celta win a free-kick 25-yards out and way outside the right hand post. Oscar fancies his chances, but misses the target by mlles
6'
EARLY GOALS ELSEWHERE
Valencia are 1-0 down against Real Betis. They're one of six teams who could occupy that final relegation spot come 10pm
3'
EARLY CELTA CHANCE
Gabri Veiga tries his luck from distance, and his shot takes a deflection which nearly wrong foots Marc Andre ter Stegan, who saves
