The match could not have started worse for Real, for two main reasons: On the one hand, the half-empty south end as a protest of the Bultzada animation group due to Ertzaintza being arrested twice for the altercation that took place on 8 November. Before the Benfica match; and on the other side, a Ander Barrenetxea, who had to leave the match due to injury six minutes into the match.
This did not cause Txuri Urdin’s team to falter as they created two good scoring chances. Brais Mendez put under sticks Francis Coquelinand then a good lateral center Arsen Zaharyan Can’t find the auctioneer.
However A quick response came from La Real villareal; first with the ending Gerard Moreno He was well repelled inside the area by Álex Remiro and in the subsequent corner, Santi Comesaña finished the game with a header after a great assist from his teammate Raul Albiol. The Royalist goalkeeper was called for a foul after falling to the ground, but neither the referee nor VAR took this claim into account.
He had no choice but to react to the Real team, who once again conceded a set piece at home, just like against Osasuna, but did so timidly and did not pose much danger to the groguet area.
One of the clearest opportunities of the first half for the realists came in the 40th minute, with Javi Galán’s cross from outside, which Albiol cleared immediately. Hamari Traoré can put the ball in the net.
But the clearest point for Real came immediately afterwards, with Zakharyan’s shot hitting the crossbar from near the touchline. With this narrow yellow victory, both teams entered the dressing room tunnel.

The ‘ex’s law’ planned at the Reale Arena and Villarreal’s stunning counter attack hit the right foot of Alexander Sörloth, who showed no mercy in pointing his gun at his former team. A sentence that deals a harsh blow to Real Sociedad, who will play for a place in the Copa del Rey final against Mallorca next Tuesday.
