Real Sociedad secured three valuable points in Girona thanks to a goal by Oyarzabal just before halftime. Imanol’s side, in a solid performance, reinforced the good form they’ve shown in recent weeks and earned a win that pushes them higher in the table.
The game kicked off with intensity, as Girona started slightly stronger, particularly through Danjuma on the left wing. However, Real Sociedad weathered the early pressure and began to pose a real threat near Gazzaniga’s goal. Óskarsson narrowly missed a cross from Sergio Gómez, and moments later, sent a shot wide while under pressure from a defender. Oyarzabal also had two chances, both headers—his first was saved by the keeper, but the second found the back of the net thanks to a pinpoint cross by Barrenetxea. The visitors were ahead at the break.
In the second half, Imanol's team stayed well-organized, waiting for Girona while looking to strike quickly on the counter. Although the home side had more possession, they didn’t create many clear chances to equalize. Late in the game, Danjuma had a good opportunity, but Remiro calmly saved it with his left foot.
This win boosts Real Sociedad in the table and confirms the team’s growing momentum. We are Real!
