The ‘txuri urdin’ team defeated the vermilion team with difficulty and a goal from Robert Navarro after a great first half and second half ex officio
Real Sociedad is the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. The ‘txuri urdin’ team had their good moment against Mallorca, despite the occasional rotation of Imanol Alguacil. The champion of the 2019-2020 edition showed from the first minute that his ambition in the KO tournament was greater than that of a laudable opponent, but more focused on the prosaic goals of the League.
After an overwhelming local start, marked by a couple of realistic warnings, Zubimendi rubbed the lamp to pull an inch through the ball and the deserving Robert Navarro took advantage of the gift to perfection and began to seal the tie with remarkable definition. to decide.
Already with the advantage on the scoreboard, Real dominated the game from possession. The ‘txuri urdin’ midfield trio consisting of Zubimendi, Merino and Brais Méndez was very aware of the circuit and refused Mallorca any reaction. The second local goal, from Oyarzabal, even came, but the goal was rightly disallowed due to tight offside, so despite the clear sense of Basque dominance, the tie came alive at half-time.
Going through the changing rooms brought the downpour over San Sebastián and the game turned cloudy for Real, twisting Imanol’s gesture on the tape. Vasco Aguirre’s Majorca, full of faith, grew and tied the score in a Copete shot that hit the crossbar. Before the script’s twist in favor of the Balearic Islands, the San Sebastian coach shook the bench to avoid overconfidence.
It cannot be said that it was an intense suffering for Real Sociedad, but the fluidity of the first part gave way to the exchange that other seasons lacked in the San Sebastian team. Imanol’s team protected their small lead with pragmatism and secured their presence in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey for the third time in the past four seasons.
