Real Sociedad lost 1-2 against Deportivo Alavés in the friendly match that took place today in Zubieta. With bleachers packed, this match has been a great opportunity for the team to prepare themselves for the beginning of the season.
It has been an entertaining and close game in which the opponents were more effective in the penalty box. Baptista scored a goal taking advantage of Pacheco´s rebound following a header from Iñigo after a free-kick taken by Pardo. At the beginning of the second half, Victor scored and got the 1-1. At the end of the match, Burgui scored the 2-1 with a crossed shot. It´s been a good test for improving! This weekend the team will rest and they will be back to work next Monday in order to prepare the visit to Riazor.
