Toni Martínez in historic comeback: Alavés from 3-0 to 4-3 in Balaídos | OneFootball

Deportivo Alavés pulled off one of the biggest comebacks of the season in Spain by beating Celta de Vigo 4-3 at Balaídos, after trailing 3-0 still in the first half, in a Matchday 29 La Liga clash.

The home side went 3-0 up after 30 minutes, but Alavés began their comeback before the break. Toni Martínez pulled one back in first-half stoppage time and sparked the visitors’ belief for a memorable second half.

The Spanish forward was one of the standout performers and scored two decisive goals in the comeback. After making it 3-1, he found the net again in the second half to level it at 3-3, confirming himself as the leading figure in the reaction of Quique Sánchez Flores’ side. In between, Alavés kept growing into the game and eventually completed the turnaround, sealing a historic 4-3 win.

The victory is even more remarkable in context: it has been more than two decades since a team in La Liga came back from 3-0 down to win. In Vigo, Alavés turned what looked like a heavy defeat into an afternoon of competitive statement and tremendous attacking efficiency.

Toni Martínez emerged as the main face of the comeback, in a match that will be remembered as one of the most unlikely of the season in the Spanish league.
