La Real wake up on time and sink Espanyol more

The Royal Society woke up in time from its incomprehensible post-confinement lethargy to achieve his first victory in this league restart, which allows him to cling to the European dream, which seemed to be escaping him. But he did it at the expense of an Espanyol who is getting closer to the Second after failing to make the best of David López's goal in the first half.

The parakeets simply endured the valuable loot they had achieved soon, instead of seeking to do more damage to a Real with immersed in a sea of ​​doubts, and in the end they paid dearly. But the result was the logical conclusion to what was seen on the field, with a Real that did not stop fighting to get out of his well and put more arguments to take a vital victory to not drop from the European fight. Willian José and Alexander Isak completed the comeback thanks to two assists from Mikel Oyarzabal.

La Real started the game with renewed vigor, recovering sensations and play, while Espanyol started shy, waiting for events to be warm. That allowed the realistic team get ahead early on the scoreboard with a header from Willian José after a good combination on the left with the precise center of Monreal, but the VAR canceled it for a tight offside. It seemed that this meant that the realists were going to take advantage of that inertia to change their bad luck. But it was the opposite. That new setback, this time without discussion, left the Donostiarras touched, so much so that they gave wings to Espanyol, who took advantage of it by leaving the cave to generate two clear occasions in a row. In the second, David López did not forgive, who went ahead of Zubeldia, very soft, to score a header without anything Moyá could do, who returned to the goal to the detriment of Remiro.

More wood for a Real full of doubts, fears and complexes at this time. He was trying timidly, but Espanyol was comfortable, well withdrawn in defense and going out with a lot of danger with Raul De Tomas, very lucid throughout the game, and Embarba, author of the pass of the parakeet goal and who drove the realistic defense crazy with their gallops. Despite some isolated occasions, the favorable result for Espanyol was not in danger until the break.

Imanol and Rufete took advantage to shake their cocktail shakers, removing players penalized with yellow from the field. But the script at the beginning of the second part did not change. Until Merino found a crack in Espanyol's tight defense with a measured pass in depth for the race of Oyarzabal, who first put a low pass to Willian José who was a half goal from the Brazilian. Draw and start again. La Real carried the weight of the game, but Espanyol generated fear in the realistic defense every time they went out quickly against the counter, especially with Raul de Tomas and Embarba, who were brilliant throughout the match, but too alone to create real danger on the realistic goal.

In the end, so much went the pitcher to the source that broke … against Espanyol, of course. Because whoever plays with fire usually gets burned. And Real Sociedad may not be going through its best moment of the season, but its fighting spirit is not in crisis and quality in the end has to appear. And on the day of the rebirth of their forwards, Alexander Isak was missing to join the party. A good center from the right of Zaldua, was tried to control an Oyarzabal who is always in the photo of the goals, and the ball was dead so that the Swede, who had just entered the field of play, shot Diego López, who little could do. The goal annihilated the parakeet hope of clinging to the first division with a Second part with little merit, and rewarded the bravery of a Real that revealed itself against the elements to continue dreaming of Europe with its first comeback of the season. They will have to think that it is never too late if happiness is good.
