REAL SOCIEDAD 3-0 FC SHERIFF

All out to secure top spot

La Real is doing very well. Four matchdays have been enough for the txuri urdin to secure a spot in the next round of the competition. With today's win over FC Sheriff (3-0), with goals from Sorloth, Rico and Navarro, Imanol’s side will be going all out to wrap up top spot in the group and qualify for the round of 16. This team has a lot of merit.

As expected, the txuri urdin began to exert pressure in search of the goal, although the chances were slow in coming. However, when they did, they were very clear. First, Carlos Fernandez tried his luck after a pass from Brais, but the shot hit the outside of the post. In the next action, in a fine individual move, Brais hit the woodwork again. The ball was heading for the top corner. Shame. Then, the Moldavians were reduced to ten men due to Zohouri's double yellow card, which paved the way for the realistas who, just before the break, took the lead with a powerful and tight left-footed shot by Sorloth from the edge of the area. Unstoppable for the goalkeeper.

The second half was a Real Sociedad monologue. With the visitors unable to generate danger, the side from San Sebastián sought to put the game to bed as soon as possible, which they did with a beautiful goal from Diego Rico, who crossed with his left foot to the net after an assist from Turrientes. In the final minutes and after endless chances, Navarro scored the third by finishing off a ball by Kubo from the far post.

Real are now in the next round. A lot of merit. If they win in Nicosia, they will be first in the group, but that will come later. Now it's time to focus again on LaLiga. Let's enjoy. Go Real!
