Ukrainian striker Vladyslav Vanat of Catalan club Girona became the main protagonist of the 11th round match in the second division of the Spanish championship, demonstrating outstanding scoring efficiency. In the match against Celta B, the 24-year-old forward scored a classic hat-trick and provided an assist, making a key contribution to his team's crushing 5-1 victory. This brilliant performance allowed the Ukrainian legionnaire to significantly improve his personal statistics in the current season and strengthen the club's position in the Segunda standings.
Match Progress and the Ukrainian Forward's Benefaction
The meeting started with active actions by the Catalan team, and Vanat actively joined the attacking play from the first minutes. Already in the 17th minute of the match, the Ukrainian opened the scoring: following a precise pass from Unay Hernandez, he confidently beat the opposing goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty net. Just three minutes later, the forward marked himself with another scoring action, but this time acting as an assistant, setting up the same Hernandez for a shot who doubled the hosts' lead.
Turning Point and Crushing Finale
In the 28th minute, the situation on the pitch heated up to the limit: Celta B defender Pablo Meixus received a direct red card for a rough foul, leaving the guests shorthanded. Literally a minute after this episode, Vladyslav Vanat confidently converted a penalty kick, securing a brace in the match. In the second half, in the 55th minute, the Ukrainian completed his benefaction with his fourth scoring action of the match, finishing a pass from Mateu Morey and scoring his third goal against the opponents.
Match Results and Team Standing in the Table
Despite the fact that Celta B player Oscar Marcos managed to pull one goal back in the 59th minute, it no longer affected the final outcome of the confrontation, as Girona completely controlled the course of the game. In the 67th minute of the match, amidst applause from the stands, Vanat left the pitch, making way for compatriot Oleksandr Pishchur, while another Ukrainian legionnaire, goalkeeper Vladyslav Krapivtsov, spent the entire meeting on the substitutes' bench. Thanks to this convincing victory, Girona gained 21 points and rose to fourth place in the Segunda standings.
