REAL SOCIEDAD 1-0 RAYO VALLECANO

Celebrating together

We have waited a long time for this. There will be no more silence in the stadiums. Goal and victories celebrations are back. The soundtrack of the Reale Arena delights us again. Imanol’s side got their first home game underway with a win. A goal for Oyarzabal in the second half clinched the first three points of the season against Rayo.

The game kicked off at a blistering pace and the first dangerous moment fell to the visitors with just eight minutes gone but   Saveljilch’s header was safely dealt with by Remiro. The txuri urdin had the possession but lacked accuracy. Silva started a fine individual move but his shot was denied by a Rayo defender. Just before the break, Oyarzabal had his chance after a free kick. Imanol’s side offered good feelings but created few occasions.

There was still time for more chances. After the break, Silva fired a shot from inside the box and it went wide. The magician missed the target. Soon after, Andrés hit the post and la Real started to besiege their rival. First, Aritz’s header hit the post but in the minute 68, Oyarzabal converted from the penalty spot to make it 1-0.

La Real got their first three points of the season and they did it with a sense of commitment. Moreover, they celebrated the win with the fans, which is priceless. The team’s performance has improved in recent years and that makes us very happy. Hope that lasts for many years! Aupa Real!
