The art of making difficult things look simple. That’s what Real did this afternoon at Balaídos after beating Celta 1-4 in a serious and effective game. Real played really well, without too much fanfare. Silva, Oyarzabal and Willian José sealed our victory in Vigo. Thus, the txuri urdin took all three points and continue this good run of results in LaLiga.
The realistas played a perfect first half. They played well and left few spaces, had the control of the ball and combined well. The txuri urdin were clearly superior and took the lead in the 24th minute. Silva broke the deadlock with his first goal for Real Sociedad. A sumptuous cross from Aihen was brilliantly finished off by the magician’s header. This first goal lifted Real’s spirits. As a result, Oyarzabal doubled Real’s lead before the break, rifling home. 0-2 and good sensations. The side from Vigo tried their luck through Nolito and Aspas, but failed to create many real moments of danger.
The txuri urdin were even better in the second half and extended their lead through Willian José. Portu stepped up to the plate and played a key role in the winner. The game was sentenced. In the 77th minute, Celta were penalty awarded and Aspas made no mistake from the penalty spot. Ten minutes before the final whistle, the Portu-Willian José’s formula worked for the second time to give the visitors a resounding win at Balaídos.
Real come out on top of the league again. The squad did really well. Our homegrown player Arambarri made his debut today. Everything turned out perfectly. Let’s keep up the good work! Aupa Real!
