They needed it, and they got it. Real Sociedad clinched victory this afternoon against UD Las Palmas (2-0), finally securing all three points. This triumph not only elevates Real Sociedad in the standings but also helps them maintain their position in the race for a Europa League spot.
Becker's impressive performance set the tone early in the match, as he made two significant starts that sparked momentum. Despite a long-range attempt from Perrone testing Remiro, Real Sociedad maintained control and posed a consistent threat in front of Las Palmas' goal. Just past the half-hour mark, Becker's incursion led to the opening goal, with Álex Suárez inadvertently turning his cross into his own net. And just before halftime, Becker struck again with a stunning finish, beating Vallés high at the near post to double Real Sociedad's lead.
n the second half, Real Sociedad continued to assert their dominance and had opportunities to extend their lead. A cross from Odriozola was met with an acrobatic attempt by Barrene, but unfortunately, he sent the ball over the bar. Despite not troubling Remiro, the yellow team remained competitive throughout the match.
This victory is crucial as Real Sociedad approaches the final four matchdays in a favorable position to achieve their ultimate objective. We are Real.
