There is no way to beat Athletic at Anoeta in League F. Real Sociedad dominated the Bilbao team at times, creating more than enough chances to win and be comfortable, but they experienced their lack of energy and a soccer player who led to glory in 2019 and that is now knocking them down the table. Nahikari Garcia, in a rather unbelievable way, as if he were still an ally instead of another rival, he tussled between four defenders, four! before executing Real with a low cross shot. He did not want to celebrate it perhaps out of respect for the past shared at the peak of glory in Granada or the 10,555 spectators present.
La Real sorely missed its usual stiletto, Synne Jensen, out at the last minute due to a worrisome Achilles tendinopathy. txuri urdin was uncomfortable at the start against an Athletic team more determined to keep the ball and try to do damage at pace Azkona and the ability Elexuru. But first through a great Cecilia and then thanks to Amaiur and their step, La Real had more than enough arrivals to bring joy to a very young parish and very dedicated to their people.
Most of the blame for the zero in the local box lies in another former like Adriana Nanclareswhich stops at the first attempt in the thread Ceciliaafter the caracoleo in front.
Unproductive Tsunami
Barnabas finds a deep left and they have it again Amaiur and Cecilia before the break, but it is not the day. After the break, txuri urdin increased the revolutions and came closer to scoring. Amaiur He headed for a cross near the post Barnabas in an action where Adriana came out wrong. A classic in the game happened on that play: dribbling off Cecilia to some rivals, shooting and clearance Nanclares with fingers. The attack began to turn into a siege.
But Athletic managed to fend off that tsunami and hit almost the only chance they had. All the defense must have stopped because they thought the referee was going to call a foul before he received it. Nahikari. They surrounded him roof, embarrassed, Vanegas and Barnabas, but finds a loophole to escape and shoot. A genius who decided a long-awaited battle.
La Real had the strength to build another noisy occasion, but Frances His shot was centered after playing the Amaiur in a play where the Finn was a little hurt. Nerea He called for a penalty for handball and the changes only refreshed a tired Real many neurons installed in the Cup final on May 18 against Barcelona. The latter had it Nerea Eizagirrewith a direct free kick hitting the top of the crossbar.
Next Saturday, another direct rival like Sevilla. Athletic leads by seven points. This battle was almost lost.
