The Royal Society pays tribute to the Sheriff

Just before the break, Sorloth’s goals, Rico and Navarro were rewarded for the ultimate advantage of Imanol Alguacil’s team, who played with numerical superiority in the last hour of the match as Zohouri was sent off for a double yellow card.

There were no surprises in the match design. It was Real who, with a five-man defense, monopolized the ball against a Sheriff, withdrew and was more interested in closing gaps. rather than seeking the opposite purpose. As Imanol Alguacil announced in the previous one, it was a matter of patience.

One of the innovations in the starting 11, Turrientes gave his first warning with a slightly high free kick; Sorloth continued with another shot to the north end; and Brais took the first three-post shot after Turrientes’ corner, thus forcing Galician Celeadnic to stop the ball in two halves.

The only response to the txuri urdin monologue was the response of posts that spat shots of Carlos Fernández and Brais twice..

And as if Real’s dominance wasn’t clear enough, Zohouri, who was shown the yellow card, put his left hand in Rico’s face in the ball fight and saw his second card half an hour later, leaving his team behind.

But one more Real blamed lack of clarity in last third for putting Sheriff in danger, already found Sorloth’s target when he was seen wearing a tie in the locker room. The Norwegian caught a ball from the right flank and took a diagonal from the edge of the penalty area that ended in a shot that beat Celeadnic. 1-0 and everything to rest.

The tight schedule and the San Sebastian team’s control over the match caused Imanol to rest Silva and dose Carlos Fernández. Local players give entry to Karrikaburu and Navarro.

Brais, again great, almost scored the second goal with a shot straight into the upper corner and Celeadnic came out with a good hand. And right after, Karrikaburu forced his shot and forced the goalkeeper of the Moldovan team to work hard.

We had to wait until the 65th minute for Real to give the laces to the Sheriff. After Turrientes’ change of orientation, he finished to make it 2-0 with all his spirit, putting Navarro ahead, seeing the arrival of the fleeing Rico.

Reale Arena was a party celebrating victory and mathematical classification for the next stage and The appearance of local players González de Zárate and Arambarri only increased the satisfaction of the stands.

Navarro and Karrikaburu were in third place and would come in the 81st minute with Guevara’s cross with Kubo. He headed for the heart of the small area so that Navarro just had to push.

Turrientes was close to fourth place in a few final minutes and Manchester United’s final goal against Omonia Nicosia at Old Trafford somewhat overshadowed the defeat of txuri urdin, whatever they did in Cyprus the next day. A draw at home with Manchester United is enough for him to be first in the group and avoid the round before the last 16.
