Real Madrid moved within four points of the La Liga title after a narrow 1-0 away win over Real Sociedad at Reale Arena. The only goal in the match was the work of Arda Güler. With the victory, Real now has 84 points, while the Basques are 6th with 51 points.
Before the start of the match, the legend of Spanish football, David Silva, was honored. He finished his career precisely at Real Sociedad.
In the 21st minute, the Basques had claims for a penalty after Mikel Oyarzabal went down in the penalty area. An 11-meter penalty kick was not reached.
Seven minutes later, Real Sociedad had a good chance. Benyat Turrientes shot from the edge of the penalty area, but his effort went over the crossbar.
In the 30th minute, Aurelien Chuameni found Dani Carvajal on the right flank with a nice diagonal pass. He continued from the air to the penalty box, where Arda Güler was the first to the ball, who left no chances to the hosts’ guard.
Just three minutes later, the Basques thought they had leveled, but Takefusa Kubo’s strike was disallowed after VAR intervened for a foul during the attack.
At the beginning of the second half, Benyat Turrientes sent a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area. Kepa Arrizabalaga managed to clear the ball for a corner.
In the 73rd minute, the hosts sent the ball into the net once again, but the goal was rightly disallowed due to an offside.
Seven minutes later, Ojarzabal was put in an excellent position. He cleared space for a shot, but a Real defender was able to block his attempt.
In the 82nd minute, Sheraldo Becker sent a shot from the edge of the penalty area. His effort went just over the crossbar.
For Real Madrid, the first semi-final match in the Champions League against Bayern Munich is coming, while in La Liga for the “royal club” the next match is with Cadiz. Real Sociedad will host Las Palmas.
