La Real licks its wounds against Osasuna

Victory flavored with consolation Real society in view of Osasuna this saturday in Saint Sebastian. After the European elimination, Imanol’s team changed their face a bit by imposing themselves on a team, that of Arrasatewho frankly saw his streak of two consecutive away wins but who continues to breathe from a more or less comfortable position.

The only goal of Elustondowas worth the Real to say goodbye to a week more negative than positive to which, yes, he could put a sweet touch at the end.

excess of tranquility

Two rather subdued teams appeared at the match. Too calm. Without too many ideas in his own boots and hoping to take advantage of a mistake in others. Thus, neither one nor the other staged clear occasions of danger and, if there was one more outstanding, that was the Real society which, due to the fact of playing at home, required a little more mordant.

And the Basques taught it with a dangerous shot from Martin that cleared Serge Herrera and some dangerous boarding school Isaac but little else. Osasuna, meanwhile, had the clearest on the brink of rest when Ruben Garcia he was generous, something very unusual in football, and gave the ball with a header to Budimir when he already had a good auction option.

With that play in the retina and the scare or disappointment depending on which jerseys, the 22 players went to the locker room tunnel with the same result with which they came out, a goalless draw.

Carnival costume

And in the second half, the Real society He went off script and would soon get the goal that would ultimately be the winner. It was thanks to Elustundoa defender who, taking advantage of Carnival, disguised himself as a ‘goal chaser’ to order a save from a corner kick in minute 52′.

From that moment to Osasuna He had no other mission than to launch himself upstairs in search of a reaction. But his intention remained in that, in the wish more than in reality because what he did was leave gaps to a Real who was looking, also without a prize, to close the match. And so, with some, the rojillos, attacking without reaching the port (they had a goal disallowed for offside in 88′) and others, the blue and whites, fighting with the clock, the end of 90 minutes was reached and the result victory by the minimum for Imanol’s men, who are consoled by the disappointment of the European elimination this week.
