Cadiz’s poor start to the season saw a positive push as they won their first match of the season against Celta Vigo 1-2 on Saturday.
Lozano and Espino’s first half goals ensured a two-goal lead at half time for Cadiz although Mina pulled one back for the hosts in the second half.

But it was enough for Cadiz, who notched up their first win of the season.
With that win, they rose to 15th place in the league table with 5 points from the same number of matches.
On the other hand, Barcelona and Koeman were once again under pressure as they managed a 1-1 draw against Granada at home in their previous clash.
Duarte’s first half goal was cancelled out late on by Araujo as both sides shared the spoils.
After 4 matches, Barcelona is yet to taste defeat this season but have won and drawn 2 games each in the season; which shows the inconsistency in the squad.
Koeman has grown under pressure in recent weeks and needs his boys to pull a rabbit out of the hat as they face a tough set of fixtures in the upcoming weeks.
The last time both sides met Cadiz managed a point at Camp Nou where it finished 1-1 in February earlier this year.
