Summary of the match Rayo Vallecano – Real Sociedad (0-2)

Also, the San Sebastian team is third in the LaLiga Santander table with 38 points; tied with Real Madrid that is second and is three points behind Barcelona (41 points) who is the leader. Of course, Barça and Real Madrid have played two games less than Real so far.

Rayo came out onto the pitch with great impetus and dedication, although hardly creating any danger, except with the arrivals from the wingers of Isi Palazón and Álvaro García, but it was Real Sociedad who hit the goal on their first arrival: in the 14th minute, David Silva recovered a ball after a Rayo throw-in, began the run towards the area and assisted Fran García’s back so that Alexander Sorloth will shoot low before the departure of Stole Dimitrievski (0-1).

From that goal, Real Sociedad imposed its hierarchy and dominated the game against the impotence of Rayo Vallecano. Before the break, Real Sociedad increased their lead on the scoreboard, and they did so after a corner kick from the left that Aritz Elustondo extended at the near post and at the far post, totally alone, Barrenetxea pushed a goal (0-2).

In the second half, the local team took a step forward and their tactics allowed them to gain meters and begin to multiply their approaches on Alex Remiro’s goal, who saved his team with a very good save two minutes after the restart to a header from Santi Comesaña, who came onto the pitch at halftime. Shortly after, it was Álvaro García who found a ball inside the Real Sociedad area and his shot crashed into Illarramendi’s face to the despair of the Vallecano fans, who helplessly verified how their team was incapable of harming the Basque team .

In the 65th minute, the txuri-urdin coach, Imanol Alguacil, made Olasagasti debut, who came on as a substitute for Brais Méndez. The rookie did not disappoint and curdled a very good half hour.

Later, Pablo Marín, after an individual move that ended with a shot that forced Dimitrievski to stretch, was able to seal the clash for Real, who ended up celebrating their ninth consecutive win of the season that allows them to continue unstoppable and also established in the area top of the classification.
