Life goes on just the same. Despite the break, la Real is still full of quality and creativity. The squad is hungry. Today, in another brilliant match, the txuri urdin defeated Osasuna (2-0) with two magnificent goals by Brais and Sorloth. The txuri urdin are working at cruising speed.
La Real got off to good start. Although the rojillos also played well, it was the txuri urdin who were the most incisive in attack. The first chance came on 22’ following a majestic move by Brais, who made no mistake with the finish and put the txuri urdin front. The player from Galicia is still in good form. The rojillos got into the game but were unable to reach Remiro’s box.
La Real produced a bright start to the second half. Silva narrowly missed a cross from Kubo in a few minutes of intense pressure. Brais, from the edge of the area, came close to scoring his second. Kubo also tried his luck with a crossed shot. La Real were in complete control and they were looking as though they would score every time they went forward, which they finally did. The goal came after a brilliant play. Silva's back-heel, Brais' assist and Sorloth's perfect lob. Just amazing. In the final minutes, Mikel Oyarzabal stepped out on to the pitch to the delight of the Reale Arena.
La Real bids farewell to 2022 in the best possible way. Excited for 2023, the year to be unstoppable. Aurrera, Reala!
