Real Sociedad completed their week with a demanding and entertaining game against CA Osasuna in Bergara. The realistas beat 3-2 and continue their fine-tuning. Today we got the win thanks to goals by Willian José, Zubeldia and Pardo.
Agorrosin pitch was packed with supporters who enjoyed a match between two teams with high aspirations. The first half began even for both teams with Real’s performance going from lowest to highest. However, Nacho Vidal broke the deadlock and scored the first goal for Osasuna. Willian José sent out a warning and Fran Mérida’s shot was sent over by Rulli. Before the break, Willian José scored the equalizer and Zubeldia nodded home the txuri-urdin’s second of the game.
Both teams came out strong in the second half. Nevertheless, neither of the teams had many scoring chances until the end of the match. David García scored the second for Osasuna and Rubén Pardo put Real ahead with a shot from outside the box. Garitano’s team will rest tomorrow and will be back at training on Monday. Next week, Real Sociedad will play two friendlies, the first one will be played on Wednesday at Tafalla where we will face Real Zaragoza. Next Saturday, Real will play against Athletic Club in Irún.
