A familiar story unfolded at the Estadio Balaidos as Celta Vigo once again fought back from a goal down to salvage a 1-1 draw, leaving their search for a first win of the season ongoing while Real Betis saw another away lead evaporate.
Heading into the match, Celta Vigo's mission was clear: to finally kickstart their campaign after the disappointment of conceding a late equaliser in their previous outing, with a home victory needed to make a statement.
Real Betis arrived looking to capitalise on their solid, unbeaten start to the season, aiming for a result that would solidify their early momentum and keep them among the front-runners.
Just as the pre-match stats pointed towards a cagey affair between two sides yet to concede in the first half, the opening period was a tight tactical battle.
That shared record was broken with the half's final touch when a corner from Giovani Lo Celso found Marc Bartra, whose header flew into the net to give Betis the lead right before referee Jesus Gil Manzano blew the whistle (0-1).
Celta, however, emerged from the changing rooms with renewed purpose. Just two minutes into the second half, Hugo Álvarez pounced on a loose ball at the edge of the area and drilled a low shot home to restore parity (1-1).
For Celta Vigo, this result continues a frustrating pattern. While their resilience is commendable, this second consecutive draw means the search for that first victory continues into their fourth match of the season. Claudio Giraldez's side sits in mid-table and will be desperate to turn these hard-fought points into wins, starting with their next home game against Villarreal.
Real Betis will leave Vigo with mixed feelings, as their unbeaten start remains intact, but they will be concerned by their inability to hold onto a lead on the road. The match followed a script that is becoming all too common for Manuel Pellegrini's team: taking a first-half lead for the third time in three games, only to be pegged back after the break for the second time.
This trend of strong starts and second-half struggles is perfectly illustrated by their position at the top of the league's First Half table, yet they have now failed to score in the second half of any of their opening three matches, a weakness they must address before hosting Athletic Bilbao.

To calculate the above duration values based on a total of 90 minutes, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are considered scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are considered scored on the 90th minute.

How is the Domination Index calculated?
⌄
The Domination Index calculation is based on the average of the following percentages:
- Possession percentage - Percentage of match corners awarded to each team - Percentage of time each team has been in the lead
'Domination' in football can be perceived in different ways. The goal of the Domination Index, as calculated here, is not about trying to determine things like 'who should have won' or which team has been simply attacking the most.
Sometimes a team has easily scored once or twice in the beginning of the game and then opts for a more reactive stance, with a focus on hindering the opponent's game. At the end of the match, the opponent might have had more possession, and even more shots, but that does not necessarily mean they have dominated the other team.
Considering possession as only one of the factors, which also include corners (clearly indicating a form of pressure on the opponent's defence), and how much of the 90-minute match duration each team has been leading, allows to also account for when teams have simply been busy controling the game, without needing to attack a lot.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Celta de Vigo have been in the lead for an average duration of 16.3 minutes per match (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is longer than the average duration of 15.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
Lead-defending ability Celta de Vigo have taken the lead 1 instance and have conceded an equalizer on 1 occasion, translating into a lead-defending rate of 0% (for an opponents' equalizing rate of 100%).

In this example, Celta Vigo have been in the lead for an average duration of 0.0 minutes per match played at home (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is lower than the average duration of 22.5 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
