La Real was defeated in San Mamés by a goal in the first half by Sancet in an even match that went to the locals thanks to their greater momentum at the start of the match.
The locals began, as usual, putting a lot of pressure on the Txuri Urdin ball, preventing the Realists from playing comfortably. As the minutes have gone by, Real has started to play more, but before half an hour, in a weak action by the visiting defense, Sancet scored with a header to put the red and whites ahead. In attack the royalists have been somewhat timid and have not been able to test Agirrezabala.
In the second half Prados had a good chance to increase the lead, but his shot, centered, was saved by Remiro. Imanol's men began to dominate with a little more clarity and had a very clear chance to tie, but Zubimendi, diving to the ground, sent the ball wide after a service from Sučić. In a rehearsed corner kick, Oyarzabal was unable to hit Sergio Gómez's service well. These were Real's best minutes, but time was beginning to run out. Final push from the people of San Sebastian that has had no effect.
Defeat in San Mamés. The royalists have not been able to give their best version in the Bilbao fiefdom in recent seasons. It will have to be next. We are Real.
