Paris Saint-Germain’s opponent in the Champions League returned to victory in La Liga, winning at Mallorca (1-2).
Without a victory for almost a month, Real Sociedad found a smile again by winning on Sunday in Mallorca (1-2), during the 25th day of La Liga. In the first period, Take Kubo (38th) responded to the early opening score of Sanchez (4th), and the Basques were then able to take advantage of Rallo’s red card (45th) to make the difference at 11 against 10, completely end of the match, thanks to Mikel Merino (90th + 3).
“It was a great match for the whole team because after their goal we didn’t give up, but we kept insisting and believing in the plan and the reward came at the end, savors coach Imanol Alguacil. It was very important to win because no matter how much you compete and create chances, what you love is winning games. »
Finally goals for Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad ended a run of five games without scoring a goal, but their coach knew there was no need to panic about that. “I repeated that it was not for lack of opportunities, we are a little calmer now and the team too,” explains Alguacil.
A little over two weeks before the return match against PSG, the downside for Real Sociedad is that the infirmary is always full. Mikel Oyarzabal has still not returned to competition, and defender Igor Zubeldia had to be replaced shortly before the hour mark.
