However, the Os Celestes flipped the script as they took the lead against the run of play through Pione Sisto in the 54th minute. Chukwueze levelled the scores for Villarreal four minutes later, firing from home from close range after a great run from Xavier Quintilla.- It was the Super Eagles star third goal of the season for Villarreal.

But Celta Vigo would not be denied, and they took the lead again through Iago Aspas. The former Liverpool striker ensured his side will return to the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos with the maximum points as he scored his second of the game in added minutes.
