Celta Vigo's high-flying attack was brought crashing down as Alaves staged a remarkable comeback to win 4-3 in a La Liga thriller.

Celta Vigo raced into a 3-1 lead by halftime, with striker Fransco Jutgla scoring two goals and assisting another. However, Alaves made four substitutions at the break and it paid immediate dividends, as they scored three unanswered second-half goals. Striker Tomas Martinez netted twice, while midfielder Ander Perez and defender Aitor Rebbach also found the back of the net.

The key tactical shift that allowed Alaves to overturn the deficit was their decision to introduce more attacking options off the bench. Substitutes Cristian Alena, Lucas Boye, Pablo Ibanez, and Jon Pacheco injected pace and creativity, helping Alaves outshoot Celta Vigo 14-12 over the 90 minutes. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, failed to adapt to Alaves' increased pressure, conceding 10 shots inside the box compared to their own 9.

Ultimately, Celta Vigo paid the price for sitting back and trying to protect their lead. Alaves were able to capitalize on their opponents' defensive naivety, scoring three second-half goals to secure a crucial away win.
