Real Sociedad is not in Europe

Real Sociedad is defeated by Anderlecht in the first Europa League match at its stadium.

A very good ten minutes from Anderlecht served to overcome an early goal by Pablo Marín and the Belgian team took the victory of the match by 1-2 against a Real Sociedad that once again went from more to less.

Royal Society: Remiro; Odriozola, Aritz, Jon Martín, Pacheco, Aihen Muñoz; Turrientes, Brais, Marin; Sadiq y Oskarsson.

Anderlecht: Coosemans; Foquet, Simic, Zanka, N’Diaye; Ritz, Stroeykens, Leoni; Dreyer, Degreef and Vázquez.

Real Sociedad came out more plugged in than ever. Barely four minutes had passed when Sadiq He pressed the ball out of the Anderlechtstealing the ball from Loop y placing a cross that Pablo Marín finished off entering from the second line to overtake his team. The Nigerian striker was more involved than ever. He seemed very loose in attack and he had his personal chance that he did not know how to take advantage of when he finished off a cross from Aihen.

The Royal Society He was being much superior to his rival, but confidence can play tricks on you. Despite starting with five defenders, the realistic defendersThey slept on a deep pass to Luis Vázquez who beat Remiro’s goal with a cross shot. After this goal, the white-blue They wanted to regain control of the game and they almost succeeded thanks to a shot from Aihen that left grazing the crossbar after a ride of Odriozol on the right side.

With five minutes left before half-time, Remiro was surprised by a volley from Leoni coming from a clearance by the royalist defense and scored the goal of the Belgian comeback. Los white-blue They wanted to get a reward for their efforts in the first half and did not want to go into half-time trailing on the scoreboard. That’s when Oskarsson took the reins of the team in the last play of the first half but His shot hit the post.

The locals began the second half as they finished the first, creating danger. La Real was losing on the scoreboard and needed people up front. That is why Imanol He chose to change the formation and leave a four-man defense. The attack blue and white generated a large number of chances in the first quarter of an hour of the game, highlighting a low shot from Oskarsson that went through the side of the net.

The much of the Real It came from a cross, and that was how the Belgian team was being hurt the most. The centers seemed to be the solution. In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the San Sebastian team had taken a total of six corners and as many centers through plays. Los white-blue They were dominating the air attack thanks to the superiorities of Aguerd y Brasbut without finding fortune.

Imanol already said that he wanted to continue giving joy to his fans, and the players tried, but there was no way to get past the Belgian wall. Kubo I tried to go sideways, Sergio Gomez I tried to hang balls but there was no way to equalize the match and Real Sociedad once again let another European victory slip away.
