Celta Vigo's 1-0 win over Almería on Saturday was a significant moment in the team's La Liga campaign, boosting their hopes for survival in one of Europe's top leagues.
The match, which took place at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, saw Celta Vigo come out on top thanks to a goal from Brazilian striker Rui Costa in the 75th minute.
It was a result that could not have come at a better time for the Galicians, who currently sit just outside the relegation zone with only four wins all season.
With only three games remaining in the league, the win over Almería means that Celta Vigo will be hoping to secure a few more points before the final whistle blows on May 22nd.
"It was a very important game," said Celta Vigo manager Pablo Machado after the match. "We knew it would be difficult against such a good side like Almería, but we were able to get the job done."
The victory also came as a boost to the morale of the squad, who had been struggling recently and were under pressure to perform well in order to avoid the drop.
"Winning is always positive," added Machado. "We want to keep fighting until the end of the season and I believe we can do it."
For Almería, however, the defeat was a setback in their own bid for survival. The Andalusian side has struggled this season, losing seven of their last ten matches, and will now be looking to bounce back and try to secure a place in the top flight next term.
Overall, the result between Celta Vigo and Almería was a crucial win for both sides, with Celta Vigo moving closer to safety while Almería remains in danger of being relegated.
