Goalkeeper Luli, the back four are Arusdondo, Reyes, De La Bella, Mikel.The three midfielders are Prieto, Iliamendi, and Pardo; the three forwards are Carlos Bella, Jonatas, and Bruma.

Real Sociedad took advantage of the home court and launched a fierce attack on the Espanyol at the beginning.

The Espanyol team is based on the midfield and the Real Sociedad team is stalemate, waiting for an opportunity to fight the Real Sociedad team's counterattack.

In the 5th minute of the game, the Espanyol team intercepted the ball in midfield, captain Harvey.Lopez passed the ball to Asensio, who dribbled the ball straight into the Real Sociedad penalty area from the middle.

Asensio became famous when he was young, and the Royal Society had also heard of his name, so they dared not be careless, and the two came to attack Asensio.

Asensio saw Moreno go forward and immediately put the ball straight behind the defender.

Asensio's pass passed accurately between the two defenders, and Moreno crossed diagonally and got the ball into the penalty area.

The Spaniard fans who came to help the game were overjoyed, thinking that today would have a fantastic start.

However, at this moment, the referee Pedro's whistle blew and Moreno was offside first.

Annoyed, Moreno ran a step early and lost a chance to face the goalkeeper single-handedly.

Real Sociedad served in the backcourt and continued to attack.

After Real Sociedad fell down a few times in the middle and on the side, striker Carlos Bella saw that the ball could not enter the penalty area, and directly kicked the goal from 30 meters away.

The shot was powerful, but Carlos Bella didn't hold it down, and the ball flew directly over the crossbar into the stands.

The Espanyol team kicked off the goal kick. After Paul kicked it out with a big kick, the ball was taken by the defender of Real Sociedad.

The ball passed to the midfield, Iljamendi broke through from the side, was destroyed by the Spaniard's defender and went out of the baseline, and Real Sociedad won a corner kick.

Carlos Bella took the corner kick and the ball was passed a little close to the goalkeeper.

Espanyol goalkeeper Paul jumped up, picked a melon from the back of his head, and snatched the ball from striker Bruma's head.

Paul tried to throw the ball to launch an attack, but the players in Real Madrid society are very experienced and have been following Paul to prevent Paul from launching a counterattack.

Paul had no choice but to give up the opportunity to counterattack quickly, and drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.

The ball was pushed into the midfield by the Real Sociedad defender, and after some fighting, the Real Sociedad midfielder Iliamendi took the ball.

Iliamendi splits the side, and Jonatas on the side does not stop the ball and crosses the penalty area diagonally, looking for a forward teammate.

Carlos Bella, who followed up in the middle, headed the goal in the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was too straight at the top, and was held in his arms by goalkeeper Paul.

Both sides came and went, the game was fast-paced, and 10 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Real Sociedad took the initiative, but they did not have more chances to shoot than the Espanyol.

The Espanyol team's defensive counterattack tactics are implemented very thoroughly. If there is a chance, they will pass forward a long pass, or hand it over to Asensio, and let Asensio break through the middle to find opportunities.

In this way, the Espanyol team did not shoot many shots, and the number of shots inside the goal frame was more than that of Real Sociedad.

In the 20th minute of the game, Real Sociedad launched an attack from the center. The full-back De La Bella pressed forward. Iliamendi made a diagonal pass from the center. De La Bella hit the bottom line and swept the ball towards the goal.

De La Bella's pass was fast and accurate. The Spaniard players in the penalty area did not dare to make a move. They were afraid of scoring an own goal and just blocked the attacking player's line.

Real Sociedad striker Bruma stretched out a kick behind the defender, just in time to poke the ball, and the ball crashed into the net.

1:0

Real Sociedad took the lead.

The Real Sociedad fans waited a long time for a seemingly innocuous cross to score.

"goalgoalgoalgoal..."

The Anoeta Stadium was boiling.

The Royal Sociedad fans cheered.

"Goal!" Moyes, head coach of Real Sociedad, shook his fist hard towards the court.

The team hadn't won a game in the first three rounds, and Moyes was under a lot of pressure.

Fans and the media outside the court are already calling for a coaching change. If the Espanyol team, which is not as strong as his own, can no longer win this round, the pressure on him will only increase.

The head coach of the Espanyol, Sergio, was so downcast. He was not satisfied with this defense. His defender lacked responsibility. The ball must be cleared, even if it is an own goal. goal.

However, the strength of Real Sociedad is stronger than that of Espanyol, and they are playing at home. Sergio is mentally prepared to fall behind, and he has made arrangements before the game.

Sergio signaled the players to calm down and play according to the plan.

After the celebration, the game continued.

The Espanyol team did not aggressively attack because they were behind, and they still counterattacked defensively step by step.

On the contrary, the Real Sociedad team, which led by 1 goal, played a little impatiently.

In the 25th minute of the game, Asensio took the ball in the middle, swiped across the side, passed a defensive player, and then kicked his foot to shoot the far corner of the goal.

Asensio's shot was very accurate. After the goalkeeper Lu Li found out, he quickly moved to the back corner and flew to save the ball, but he couldn't touch the ball.

Just when the goalkeeper Lu Li was annoyed, the ball bounced off the corner between the post and the crossbar.

The ball was caught by the players of Real Sociedad and immediately launched a counterattack.

Real Sociedad's counterattack was quick, and the ball quickly hit the side. Castro on the side paused for a while, and crossed the ball diagonally to the penalty area with a half-high kick.

This is a weird curve ball. Espanyol goalkeeper Paul wanted to get the ball, but found that the ball was far away from the goal after flying in front of the goal, and he stopped.

What the goalkeeper is most afraid of is the hesitation to attack. With Paul's hesitation, the opponent's forward Jonatas volleyed from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

2:0

Real Sociedad extended the score.

After scoring the goal, Jonatas raised his hands excitedly, rushed to the stands, and roared at the home team fans.

"Jonatas! Jonatas!"

The fans at the scene chanted the name of Jonatas, and a tsunami of applause broke out.

Moyes on the sidelines excitedly ran to Jonatas, who scored the goal, and gave the striker a warm hug.

The on-site commentator said in surprise: "In 31 minutes, Real Sociedad led by two goals! It's really unexpected. This should have been a close game, but now it looks like it's going to be one-sided."
