Oyarzabal exhibits, Portu boasts

Real Sociedad recovered the lost goal at the most opportune moment to clearly overcome unrecognizable Getafe in many moments of the game, at the mercy of his rival, with less intensity than usual and competing worse than the Donostiarras. Imanol Alguacil's team was superior to the azulones in almost all facets of the game, and certified his dominance with three goals, one from a penalty before the break by Mikel Oyarzabal, and another two in the second half in two minutes inspired by Merino and Portu, after growing little by little, and looking more than his rival for a necessary triumph after the defeat against Valencia. Perhaps the result is too bulky, but the reality is that Real was better, played better and competed better, annulled Getafe, which was little like Getafe, and everything that did not enter the txuri-urdin during the week, this once it was inside.

The game was not going to start in any other way in Anoeta. The opposite would have been a huge surprise. La Real started bravely with the ball, trying to dominate the game from position, and Getafe well retracted in defense, trying to contain the soccer of the realists and go out quickly to the counterattack to take advantage of the speed of Cucho Hernandez and the uncheck marks of Ángel Rodriguez. A direct football that other years has already given good returns in San Sebastián. But this time the Real was not willing to give him anything. He did not let him run, he pressed higher and attacked the back of his defenses with great intention, to avoid a high pressure from Bordalás that used to complicate his game. That caused Getafe to sink in front of their goalkeeper, which allowed Real to take over the center of the field, thanks to Zubimendi's enormous tactical sense and the riders by the bands of Oyarzabal and Portu, supported by an immense Gorosabel (once again).

All this led to the arrival of 1-0, due to a disputed penalty, but with the current rule it is Oliveira's hand. Without discussion. Years ago it would have been another story. And another thing is that the norm more or less likes. Mikel Oyarzabal assumed responsibility to celebrate his 200th match at Real Sociedad with a goal. The realistic captain continue without failing from eleven meters (10 out of 10 in First) and put a Real in franchise that with the result in favor felt more comfortable in the final minutes of the first half, generating clear occasions that Isak was not sure to widen differences, especially with a slightly forced header to center again from Portu. La Real arrived growing at halftime and Getafe touched.

The second part began with Getafe taking a step forward in search of a draw, but it was just a mirage. Because after some shy approach, was losing gas and was already always at the mercy of a Real that was growing with the passing of the minutes and that it only needed two minutes of inspiration to kill the game. A lateral foul by Oyarzabal that Merino sent to the back of the net after an error in the clamorous mark by Oliveira. And just after a long ball in which Etxeita falls asleep, Portu wins the game and closes the win with a subtle Vaseline. Fair victory for a Real that recovered the goal when it most needed it against Getafe that surprisingly stopped competing and he lost some of his hallmarks. Imanol saw it so clearly that he even made the French central Sagnan debut in the First Division, one of the most controversial signings in recent years at Real, who debuted in the top flight more than a year after landing in San Sebastián. And if Bordalás wants signings, he can put the video of this match on Ángel Torres again. Equally then the Azulón president thinks about it and pays more attention to him.
