Real Sociedad drew 0-0 this afternoon at the Coliseum against Getafe. The Txuri Urdin performed well in the first half but were dominated in the second half by a fresher Getafe side, who had not played midweek. Despite the pressure, Real Sociedad held on to earn a hard-fought point.
The first half was very even, with few opportunities for either team. The first half was balanced, with few opportunities for either team. Getafe's most dangerous moment came from a left-footed strike by Carles Pérez that narrowly missed the target. Real Sociedad had their best chance from a cross by Sergio Gómez, which Sadiq couldn't connect with from close range. Aside from these moments, there wasn’t much to highlight in a rather uneventful first half.
In the second half, Getafe stepped up their game, pushing forward from the start and delivering several crosses into the box. Alderete almost scored with a powerful left-footed shot from distance, which Remiro managed to push out for a corner. Peter and Aleñá also had back-to-back chances, but Zubimendi made critical blocks to keep the score level. Ultimately, neither side was able to find the back of the net.
A valuable point before the international break, providing two weeks for the team to regroup and prepare for the upcoming match against Real Madrid at the Reale Arena.
