Rijeka – Real Sociedad (0-1): Bautista dresses up as a hero

Among the first swords, a cloaked junior emerged. When the tie seemed inevitable. Last chance to take down uncomfortable prey where they exist. Jon
Baptist He dressed as a hero and scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute. The only one who saw the door of all when they tried their luck. And the Real debuted in the Europa League with three points like three gold bars.

The fruitless superiority defines the first part of the Real. A unilateral government of the party that did not translate into advantages for the usual reason in these contexts: it lacked inspiration at the peak. A couple of oversights in the surveillance might have cost a bigger upset, but the Rijeka He was not so adept at the matter of technique as to tilt the pulse in her favor.

La Real bounced seven corners in the first 45 minutes and shot on goal nine times. And that Remiro, the goalkeeper, was the one who opened the chapters of protagonism. The Navarrese doubled his gift as a savior in the 13th minute. He cleared with his foot a close shot from Andrijasevic and stopped the subsequent clamorous of Loncar. Two notices in one of the Croats.

The best Real of the first half obeyed the unstoppable version of Mikel
Oyarzabal. The freedom of action in the area of ​​the midfielders multiplied the value of the captain, omnipresent, dangerous and groundbreaking in equal parts. And, as if that were not enough, a skillful executor of the strategy. The Eibar also launched a missile from a distance that aborted Nevistic, the local goal. Also the rejection of Silva.

Portu decided to accompany Oyarzabal in the facet of leadership and the Real gained in speed. Necessary, by the way, to corrupt the Balkan idea of ​​putting the party in a quagmire, with five defenders and four media dedicated to defense. The goal could come in an isolated play that Zubimendi he provoked with a header to the area. Was hunted by You
Normand and the ball hit the crossbar.

Silva was intoned and linked the creation with the auctions. Based on conducting and accurate passes, he drove a Royal resident in the Rijeka field. The Gran Canaria connected with Isak, which delighted with a pass to the hole that For your wasted within the area, wanting to move to Oyarzabal instead of kicking. A deflected head of Silva himself was the last txuri urdin approach before the break.

A left foot of gold

As the second half progressed, the mission of putting land in the middle became more complicated. Rijeka settled for the draw every minute with greater pleasure, so they closed ranks without any fear of being wrong. The Croatian withdrawal was increasingly intense.

The most solid argument of the Real to break the ice of the goal was Silva. The glow of Oyarzabal faded away, Willian
José replaced Isak intervening with relevance and the internships of For your They found no auction. Zubimendi it grew and grew as the creator of an incomplete device: siege without dynamite.

Two occasions that could be gold ended in nothing, like gunpowder that gets wet. For your brushed the goal after an extension by Isak in the 55th minute. Until the 82nd there were no more symptoms close to victory, when Oyarzabal he hit a left foot point-blank into the post.

The tie was being drawn up in the minutes when Jon Bautista, the most alternative resource of Imanol, gave the victory to the Real.

The youth team striker finished off with his left foot, inside the area, an idealistic combination, not at all random, which summarizes a DNA. Zubimendi, Silva Y Merino created a high quality society and Baptist disguised himself as a hero in the 92nd minute.
