Real Sociedad loses against Leipzig (1-3) and says goodbye to Europe

Real Sociedad was eliminated from the Europa League this thursday after lose against Leipzig (1-3) the second leg of the round of 32 that was played at the Reale Arena. The first leg match ended tied at two (2-2), so the txuri-urdin team has said goodbye to Europe.

The txuri-urdin team went out to wait for the rival and it was the visitors who began to create scoring chances. In the opening minutes, a good shot by Klosterman, assisted by Dani Olmo, was cleared by goalkeeper Ryan. The German team had it again, this time favored by an error in the exit of the ball by Ryan to leave a clear opportunity to mark Kampl, however, the Australian goalkeeper would compensate for his mistake with another saving save. Ryan continued to insist on making things difficult and in a ball received outside the area he generated an absurd foul against that did not end in a goal by Orbán because once again the realistic goalkeeper became active again, like the tension of a stand that no longer saw the unclear things.

The Real Sociedad goalkeeper did not have his afternoon and committed a clear penalty to Nkunku in the 37th minute, which was launched by André Silva so that the Sydney goalkeeper could shine with another worthwhile intervention, but Orbán was very attentive and scored on the rebound (0-1).

At the start of the second half, Ryan acted as the savior in a shot by Laimer that was on goal. Later, in the 58th minute, André Silva left the tie on track (0-2) in a very powerful right shot that this time Mathew Ryan could not save.

When everything seemed lost, the goal by Zubimendi (1-2) to give life to the Royal Society. Leipzig had doubts with this goal, which came with suspense after being checked by the VAR, and the Basques clearly went on the attack to seek at least one extra time that was about to arrive in a Sorloth shot with everything in favor, until what Forsberg sentenced (1-3) penalty after a clear hand from Elustondo inside the area
