Stoichkov gets Celta reign off to a flying start

goldenHuddlestone · 04-15-2007, 06:56 PM

Former Bulgaria coach Hristo Stoichkov got off to a winning start as the new boss of Celta Vigo on the Sunday when his side claimed a deserved 1-0 win at home to Galician rivals Deportivo Coruna.

Brazilian striker Fernando Baiano diverted a shot into the net on the hour to earn Celta their first win in seven outings and only their second at their Balaidos stadium this season.

The victory lifted Celta out of the relegation zone where they were replaced by Levante who lost 1-0 at Atletico Madrid.

Atletico striker Fernando Torres curled the ball into the far corner 15 minutes into the second half to give Atletico a win that reignited their bid for a Champions League place.

Athletic Bilbao had Ismael Urzaiz to thank for a 2-1 comeback victory at home to Espanyol, the burly centre-forward scoring two trademark headers to earn his side a win that kept them clear of the drop zone.

Basement side Gimnastic Tarragona also claimed a morale-boosting 1-0 win over high-flying Real Zaragoza, striker Javier Portillo heading home eight minutes from time.

Despite the win Gimnastic remain bottom of the table on 24 points, level with Real Sociedad who beat Real Betis 1-0 on Saturday and five points behind Levante.
