La Real reacts after the ‘Imanolina’

One more round, one less round. La Real is already in the round of 32 of the Cup after eliminating Zamora in a game decided after the break with goals from Guridi and Turrientes, who debuted as scorers with the first team. Something had to happen in the txuri urdin locker room at halftime because the team from the first half to the second half crossed a chasm. There was ‘Imanolina’ and it was the hand of a saint.

Imanol for the first time he opted for an alignment with a majority presence of players with little or no prominence and with hardly any rhythm of the game as Pacheco, Illarramendi, Guridi The Djoahra and the truth is that it was noticed. La Real was an extremely slow, predictable team, without a spark and the Zamora lived installed in a comfort that surely they have not found even in the First RFEF. A little order and attention were enough to cancel the Gipuzkoan team, unable to find a deep pass and less to a teammate in the last third of the field.

So between the fact that the Real was more harmless than the plastic knives offered on an airplane and that the Zamora was like on the sofa in his house watching life go by, the first half passed without the pulse of the 22 protagonists altering the slightest. If anything in the 38th minute with the foul that Ramos threw over the crossbar of Ryan and with the injury of Dieguito in a fortuitous action with Pacheco.

Imanol moved the bench at half-time, entering Oyarzabal for Illarramendi and the Eibar barely took a minute to be decisive, since he participated in the goal of Guridi by extending a cross at the far post so that Norman header and the Azpeitiarra hunt the ball one meter from the goal to beat Villanueva, which like his teammates unsuccessfully asked offside.

And it is that the Real was another very different team after the ‘Imanolina’ of the rest and immediately afterwards, in just five minutes, Norman, again Guridi Y Djoahra came close to scoring with three dangerous shots, the first two deflected by Villanueva.

Although for the occasion of Sorloth in the 62nd minute, when he took advantage of a poor delivery of Astray to face the goal of Zamora and shoot him at nightfall, although without being able to overcome him.

So many wasted opportunity has its danger and the Real was about to pay it because shortly after Astray he wanted to make up for his mistake with a head butt down from a corner that the post repelled to relief txuri urdin.

La Real then decided that the task had to be finalized and after a low center within the Oyarzabal deflected by a defender, Turrientes grabbed the ball at the penalty spot and unleashed a kick that overcame the presence of Villanueva and a defender under sticks. From 1-1 to 0-2. A matter of hitting.

Sorloth, obtuse all night, he was not fine in a head butt to the center of an asset Guridi and with the party exhaling its last breath Port He went on the run and wanted to give the goal to Oyarzabal, but a Zamorano defender crossed in time to prevent the ’10’ from pushing the ball into the net.

But since Beniel’s is stubborn and does not give up in the effort, he repeated movement to serve a low center that, this time, he finished Oyarzabal to beat Villanueva between the legs and put the rubric to the tie.
