Betis 0-Real Sociedad 3 | La Real climbs to the leadership under the baton of Oyarzabal

Real Sociedad took the lead with a brilliant football demonstration at Benito Villamarín. Under the leadership of a sublime Oyarzabal, he passed over Betis with a lethal punch and absolute control of the situation. Pellegrini's slate never knew how to stop a Real that dreams of more from its leadership in this League.

Neither Betis nor Real Sociedad hesitated to pull intensity at the start. The San Sebastian team first warned, which took advantage of the misunderstanding between Tello and Álex Moreno so that Oyarzabal was about to score. He ran into Claudio Bravo, a former royalist who was returning to Pellegrini's eleven. It took a minute for the green-and-white box to respond and did so with a good shot from Tello that Remiro firmly cleared. The exchange of blows was installed from that moment in Heliópolis, but also a brake on the chosen ones. Neither Fekir nor Silva came into play. Oyarzabal looked for the spaces, Borja Iglesias crashed without success again and again against the Real centrals.

A brilliant counter by Oyarzabal invited Willian José to open the scoring, but the striker was not lucky and his shot went to the side of the net. He did not miss the edge of the Portu break. Oyarzabal was again undetectable between spaces and his uncheck on the left flank continued with a measured center that the Murcian attacker finished off against Bravo. La Real found a prize for its insistence for a side in which Pellegrini had to improvise due to the absence of Emerson. Aitor Ruibal, lateral by accident, was not the expected remedy.

Pellegrini withdrew the unpublished Borja Iglesias to give entry to Sanabria. The Paraguayan only needed three minutes to show that he has more arguments than the Galician, although his goal was annulled for offside. The Verdiblancos risked more and the Real felt comfortable imposing their pause between the spaces. The association between Oyarzabal and Portu threatened sentencing while Pellegrini pulled changes to seek a necessary revolution. This did not come. Without Channels, the Real lived calmer. Sanabria asked for a penalty without the VAR giving him the reason and then Silva appeared. Geniuses need little to make a difference and his pass into space for Isak was well worth a sentence. Bartra dropped the Swede and Oyarzabal didn't shake from the penalty spot. It is no coincidence that he has not missed any of the nine penalties he took with Real. Nor is it a coincidence that the Royal takes the lead under his command.

The spaces and the defensive innocence of Betis did the rest. Alguacil gave Oyarzabal a break, turned into the soul of this new leader. Januzaj teamed up with Isak before closing to put the icing on the cake to a win that thrills Real and compromises Pellegrini.
