Madrid (AFP) – Victor Diaz scored the only goal as Leganes defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 on Monday in the club’s first ever game in the Spanish top flight.
Diaz steered in from a corner on 75 minutes to hand Leganes victory on their La Liga debut, having won promotion to the top tier by finishing runners-up in Spain’s second division last season.
Leganes, who were founded in 1928, will host Atletico Madrid at their modest 8,000-seater stadium on the outskirts of the Spanish capital in their first home game next weekend before champions Barcelona visit next month.
Valencia are at home to Las Palmas later in the final game of the opening round of matches in Spain.
