Summary of the match Athletic Club – Real Sociedad

At the beginning, there was a lot of equality between two teams willing to win the game through effort and pressure. In this dynamic, absence of occasions and more arrivals with a certain danger from Real. The best, a compromised loan from Dani García that Unai Simón solved and a cross from Gorosabel that could barely touch Brais in an arrival in the area.

Athletic’s first opportunity could do much more damage, a shot by Williams in a commotion in the area that Zubeldia blocked when he was aiming for the first goal of the match after the first quarter of an hour.

The pulse calmed down and it even seemed that the Real was done with it. But a robbery from Guruzeta to Merino unleashed a real storm in the Remiro area, who counted up to four consecutive occasions on his frame in five minutes. The last one, the goal by Iñaki Williams (1-0) Resolving the second another racket in the area, after a corner kick taken by his brother and touched by Vesga, similar to his first good chance.

before that so much so that the VAR validated After checking a possible hand that did not exist, between Zubeldia and Remiro they deflected the shot with which Nico finished, to a pass from Sancet, the play of Guru’s robbery from Merino. Then Williams and Guruzeta mishandled a counter shot by Nico, and Remiro had to come almost to square to clear a Williams shot from the edge.

Three more arrivals from Athletic, a play between Capa and Sancer, and two shots from Williams, high, and Guruzeta, at the hands of the Navarrese goalkeeper, ratified Athletic’s superiority also in the game at halftime.

Back from the locker room, Real began to find more play and reaching Simón’s area with more danger, who became the best player in the second half. Although before his recital of saves Iñigo Martínez avoided him a first intervention by crossing into an incorporation to the Oyarzabal area, well fed by Merino. Minutes later two stops arrived in a row that recalled the international band of the Athletic goalkeeper. First he cleared a good shot from Barrenetxea and then the one from the rebound that fell to Kubo. A third save from a shot from the front of Merino, this one more sober, completed the brilliant appearance of Unai Simón in the match.

Subsequently, as if wanting to thank the goalkeeper for his contribution, his teammates further decanted the clash with one of those runs by the eldest of the Williams that do not usually end in a goal. But Iñaki is on a roll and scored (2-0) his fourth goal in the last three games with one of those shots that sometimes hooks when the shot catches him with little angle. Remiro could hardly even react.

With the game almost decided, Simón once again showed his quality in a cross shot from Cho and Real spoiled a very clear chance from Barrenetxea. That he finished off a shot from point-blank range after a pass from Sorloth, who had stolen the ball on a bad kick from the local goalkeeper.

In the end, Athletic took all three points and Real Sociedad returned home empty-handed.
