Celta Vigothe team of the Romanian goalkeeper Ionut Radu (28 years old), lost on Sunday on the field of the Real Sociedadscore 1-3, in the 21st stage of La Liga. Radu committed it on the last success of the game, when he made a foul in the box, and Brais Mendez converted the shot from 11 meters (90+6').
It wasn't Radu's most brilliant performance, but his colleagues didn't live up to expectations either.
The failure comes as a surprise, in the context in which Sociedad evolved from minute 45+2 with one man less, following the elimination of Caleta-Car.

The red card came when Sociedad was 1-0, thanks to the success signed by Oyarzabal (17').
Celta managed to equalize in the 72nd minute, through Borja Iglesias, but collapsed at the end. Oyarzabal scored the “double” (75'), and Mendez set the final score in extra time (90+6'), 3-1 for Real Sociedad.
Those at eldesmarque.com gave it a grade 4 to Ionuț Radu, stating that it was not his best day: “He has nothing to do with the 1-0 goal, shot placed, the ball picks up speed because of the water-soaked lawn.
He has a few more interventions in a quiet first half for the Romanian goalkeeper. He could have done more with the Real captain's second goal as the ball came through the middle. He has a good parade near the end. He commits a penalty on Marín, converted by Brais Méndez in extra time”.
Those at lavozdegalicia.es were more lenient and gave it a passing grade (5): “This time it was not providential. There was an intervention.”
Following Real Sociedad's home defeat, Celta Vigo are 7th in La Liga with 32 points, ahead of eighth-placed Sociedad with 27.
Radu played 26 matches this season for Celta, during which he conceded 30 goals and kept 6 clean sheets.
