Real Sociedad secured a victory against CD Leganés this afternoon, further solidifying their impressive form. Despite a slow match with minimal fluidity, goals from Brais Méndez, Barrene, and Oyarzabal ensured that the side from San Sebastián returned home with all three points.
The txuri-urdin, wearing gold today, took the lead with a well-executed play. Following a cross from Sergio Gómez, Brais finished at the far post, providing Real with exactly what they needed in a game of this nature. Nonetheless, the hosts managed a solid chance, with Neyou sending his attempt over the bar. Just before halftime, Imanol's team had a prime opportunity to extend their lead, but Sučić, set up brilliantly by Oyarzabal, directed his shot straight at Dmitrovic when his goal seemed certain.
In the second half, Leganés started strong with a header from Óscar that forced an excellent save from Remiro. Real Sociedad struggled to maintain possession, but a breakthrough came from a lateral free-kick. Moments after coming on, Barrene sent a precise left-footed shot into the net, paving the way for victory. In stoppage time, Oyarzabal put the game to bed with a clinical finish from inside the box.
Three points that bring the txuri-urdin closer to the European spots. The upward trajectory continues. Let’s keep it going. We are Real.
