Victorious with suffering for the realistic cast, who in the first half another brilliant goal from Take Kubo paved the way to victory. The San Sebastian team felt comfortable in the second half and extended the score to 0-3 with Alexander Sorloth and a Leandro Cabrera own goal, but when all seemed doomed, Espanyol reacted to educate their fans. Sergi Darder closed the gap and Brian Oliván left his team one goal away from a draw, which was not possible thanks to Real’s stamina in the closing minutes.
Significant victory for Real Sociedad, crossing the 40-point mark and establishing itself in the Champions League qualifying positions, eight points ahead of Real Betis, in fifth place. Espanyol, for its part, misses the chance to catch air in the fight against relegation and retain the one-point margin over Valencia, which marks the bottom of the table.

90′ + 4′ RED FOR LEANDRO CABRERA!! The Uruguayan centre-back takes the second card for a blow to Robin Le Normand and is eventually sent off. Espanyol has ten football players left for the rest of the game.
87′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY BRIAN OLIVÁN !!!! ESPANYOL 2-3 Real Sociedad. There is a match in the RCDE Stadium!!! Well-turned wall between Brian Oliván and José Carlos Lazo that ends with a cross from the Barcelona side. Espanyol cuts distances, which is a bit of a tie.
74′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL FROM SERGI DARDER!!!! ESPANYOL 1-3 Real Sociedad. A great save from Álex Remiro from a header from Javi Puado, but Sergi Darder grabbed the rebound and closed the gap. The RCDE Stadium is encouraged. And medical help springs to assist Álex Remiro. Cascante’s goalkeeper is injured due to the blow he received in the dispute with Sergi Darder.
63′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AT LEANDRO CABRERA’S OWN DOOR!!! Espanyol 0-3 REAL SOCIETY. The people of San Sebastián extend their advantage!! Take Kubo’s very dangerous center in the area. Leandro Cabrera pokes his head in, catches Álvaro Fernández off guard and makes it 0-3.
51′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BY ALEXANDER SORLOTH!!!! Espanyol 0-2 REAL SOCIETY. Real Sociedad doubles its lead!! The Norwegian appears at the front of the small area to score a low cross from Mikel Oyarzabal coming in from the left. Great precision from Alexander Sorloth to put land in the center!
Espanyol has failed to feel comfortable on the pitch. More concerned with defending themselves and adding less minutes with the ball (possession of almost 70% for Real Sociedad), Diego Martínez’s men try to stretch with Aleix Vidal and Martin Braithwaite, their two wingers in the latter third of the field, but the defensive order of the people of San Sebastian closes all spaces above it. With the score still 0-0, Álex Remiro was a hero visit to avoid a Fernando Calero header that would have changed the script of the match.
Rest in the RCDE Stadium! Real Sociedad headed for the dressing room tunnel with a temporary victory thanks to an authentic Take Kubo goal, a left-footed shot from the top of the box to beat Álvaro Fernández in the 23rd minute. by the people of San Sebastián, who reached the rival area with ease and generated a large number of offensive plays (eight shots in all). It’s not the best night for the Parrots, struggling to smooth the ball’s circulation as they cross the center circle.
23′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL THE TAKE KUBO !!!! Espanyol 0-1 REAL SOCIETY. Nice goal from Real Sociedad!! Everything stems from the displacement of Diego Rico from the left. The center wanders through the area and reaches Take Kubo, who has time to control the ball and spear a left-hand shot that bends Álvaro Fernández’s hand. What a great goal from the Japanese footballer!
XI OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY | For its part, Real Sociedad will enter the field with (4-4-2): Álex Remiro – Ander Barrenetxea, Igor Zubeldía, Robin Le Normand, Diego Rico – Take Kubo, Asier Illarramendi, Martín Zubimendi, Brais Méndez – Alexander Sorloth and Mikel Oyarzabal. For his part, Imanol Alguacil maintains practically the same block that was beaten last league match against Real Valladolid. Of those who started against Pucela, only Pablo Marín and Robert Navarro remain on the bench, opening the way for Brais Méndez and Mikel Oyarzabal to start.
XI OF SPANISH | Diego Martínez puts the following line-up up for grabs (4-3-3): Álvaro Fernández – Óscar Gil, Fernando Calero, Leandro Cabrera, Brian Oliván – Nico Melamed, Vinicius Souza, Sergi Darder – Aleix Vidal, Javi Puado and Martin Braithwaite. Just two changes by Diego Martínez to go in search of a win in front of his fans. The return to ownership of Óscar Gil and Vinicius Souza are in the news following their card accumulation penalties, coming in through side Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (low due to suspension) and centre-back César Montes (low due to injury) respectively. It should be remembered that Espanyol are still without Joselu, their top scorer this season, due to muscle pain.
