Sport Real Sociedad 2-0 Real Madrid

Buts : Kubo (47)^e) and Barrenetxea (85^e) for the Txuri-Urdin

Expulsion : Carvajal (61^e) for Meringues

For the reception of Real Madrid at Anoeta, in this 33^e La Liga day, Real Sociedad did the job by winning (2-0). Basques fourth, and almost guaranteed to compete in the Champions League with eight points ahead of their pursuer Villarreal.

In an unbridled game, opportunities rained on both sides, barely the ball engaged. Éder Militão, with a powerful header from a corner, forced Álex Remiro to relax (9^e), before Martin Zubimendi, forgotten at the far post on a corner kick as well, found the crossbar with a volley from the left (14^e). In the aftermath, David Silva, served back by Alexander Sørloth, plants his shot in the niche of Thibaut Courtois (19^e), while Militão, again, does not fit his noggin (41^e).

The Brazilian is in all areas, even the bad ones. Pressed by Sørloth in front of his goal, the defender indeed tries to seek Thibaut Courtois full axis, but offers Takefusa Kubo, opportunist, the opener (1-0, 47^e). In reaction, Toni Kroos stumbles on Remiro with a low shot at the entrance to the surface (55^e). Expelled for a second yellow card, Dani Carvajal leaves his own at ten (61^e) and frees spaces exploited by the incoming Ander Barrenetxea, who came to break on an incursion followed by a cross shot from the right (2-0, 85^e). Minimalist end of season for You meringues.
