After a commanding 3-1 victory over Osasuna, Real Sociedad has surged to seventh place in LaLiga, showcasing their determination to solidify their position in the league.
The stage was set at Anoeta Stadium as Real Sociedad aimed for their tenth league victory of the season. The match began on a tense note when Osasuna’s Victor Munoz nearly gave them an early lead with a header that struck the post from Rafael Moro’s cross.
This near miss seemed to invigorate Sociedad, who soon created a significant opportunity. Mikel Oyarzabal was left unmarked in the box but could only direct his shot wide from close range.
However, the breakthrough came when Oyarzabal converted a penalty after Enzo Boyomo handled the ball inside the area.
Just minutes later, Goncalo Guedes doubled the lead. Cutting in from the left, Guedes found space to shoot, burying the ball into the bottom corner as Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera stood helpless.
Osasuna did come close to reducing the deficit before halftime, with Aimar Oroz’s curling effort being thwarted by Alex Remiro.
Nevertheless, Sociedad extended their advantage just seven minutes into the second half. A brilliant solo effort by Beñat Turrientes saw him weave past multiple defenders before laying it off to Guedes, who fired into the top corner.
Though Osasuna struggled to create clear chances throughout the match, they managed to net a consolation goal thanks to Victor Munoz, who executed a powerful shot from a tight angle following a return pass from Kike Barja.
In the end, Sociedad remained resilient, securing their eighth consecutive home game without defeat. For Osasuna, the loss marks a troubling trend, as they remain winless in their last three outings, hindering their aspirations for European competition.
