Imanol’s team achieves three fundamental points by winning in Austria, with two goals in the first half.
Triumph for Real Sociedad who take the first three points in their group after beating RB Salzburgo with a great first half from Imanol Alguacil’s pupils. During the second half, it was the Austrian team that took the initiative, coming out with an overwhelming majority to insert themselves on the playing field and complicate the victory for the Txuri-Urdin team, with several dangerous approaches to Álex’s goal Remiro, whose performance was anecdotal, was only really needed in the final seconds of the match, when Nicolas Capaldo took the locals’ only shot on target that required the Basque goalkeeper to intervene.
Although RB Salzburg tried again and again, they lacked strength in the final meters, constantly clashing with Txuri-Urdin’s well-armed defense, who managed to dry up the Austrian team’s young offensive. The departure of Petar Ratkov at half-time refreshed the ideas in the attacking zone, but it was not enough for his partnership with Roko Simic to be successful against a Real that faded in the second half but knew how to resist the attacks. from the local team.
Real Sociedad climbs to first place without knowing the result between Inter and Benfica, while RB Salzburg is left with three points before visiting the Italian team the next day.
