Europe: Influential Joseph Aidoo Jnr helps power Celta Vigo to a hard fought draw at home against Espanyol

Black stars defender Joseph Aidoo Jnr was influential at the back line for Celta Vigo in their 1-1 stalemate against Espanyol in the Spanish top-flight league on Thursday night

The Ghanaian has been in superb form for Celta Vigo since making his debut for the club and has cemented his place at the back line of Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo came into the match after an impressive goalless draw against Atletico Madrid over the weekends in the top-flight league away from home and were highly motivated to amass all three points on the night

Espanyol also came to the match on the back of a disappointing 1-3 defeat at home against Real Sociedad over the weekends

Espanyol took the lead through Spanish defender Adria Pedrosa three minutes after coming out for the second half of the match as they were destined for all three points before Spanish striker Santi Mina scored late in added time to earn a draw for Celta Vigo at home

Celta Vigo sits 15th on the table after match day six with six points. Next is an away encounter against Eibar on Sunday, September 29
