Renato Tapia has prepared well for the start of LaLiga Santander. Although the French press suggested that “Cabezón” would be a new player for Olympique de Lyon, the Peru team’s midfielder is in the pre-season campaign for Celta de Vigo and was able to add minutes in an international friendly against Al’s team Cristiano Ronaldo’s Nassr . Although the Spanish team defeated the Saudi team, many fans were surprised with a penalty shoot-out after regulation time.
Why did they go to penalties when Celta won the game?
As is well known, the Celtic line-up clearly won 5-0 at the start of the country triangle. However, the rules set by the organizers stipulate that a penalty shoot-out must be carried out at the end of the 90 minutes; This serves as a tie-break mechanism in the event that all teams end up with the same number of wins at the end of the tournament.
In the case of Celta de Vigo vs. Al Nassr, the Spaniards took the win, but the 12-step definition ended 4-4. The next challenge for the Rafa Benítez-led club will be against Benfica on Friday 21 July.
