LaLiga Santander 2020 – 2021
Real Sociedad 1 Raise 0
Merino’s goal is the only one that the donostiarras could achieve against a dominated Levante that only shot on goal twice
The Real society He risked losing the option to engage in the fight for fourth place. The week in which the Seville hesitates, the donostiarras overwhelmed Levante in everything except on the scoreboard. They let the duel come alive at the last minute, to an Olympic goal attempt by Bardhi In ’83 he crashed into the crossbar but cut off their breath. It was the second shot on goal from the rival, but the scoreboard drew a very courteous 1-0. [Narracin y estadsticas]
At Levante, disappointment takes over in the mood and in their football. Paco López opted for looking for air for his team after the effort with rotations that started again with the goalkeeper, to which Crdenas returned. Soon the Catalan goal had to look for a ball from the back of the net. In minute ten, Merino caught a pass from Oyarzabal to overtake the Donostiarras, who could increase their advantage if the captain had not missed a penalty. From being one of the most infallible players from 11 meters, with 17 goals in a row, he accumulates three painful errors, in the semi-final of the Super Cup, at Old Trafford and against Levante to make the game more placid. The granotas did not have much choice but to suffer and hold on to the stroke of fortune that came alive at minute 90.
La Real dominated from start to finish, even despite their own mistakes, almost all in the rival area. They managed the rhythm with Silva at the helm, they tied up Paco Lpez’s team, with no opportunities to run against them, and sought the second goal with as much ahnco as little fortune. Neither Isak nor Merino beat Crdenas in arreones that were repeated in the second half.
To those of the Swede -which caused the cancellation of another goal by Merino with his offside- were added the chances of Januzaj, who took Duarte to an empty goal, de Silva and the header to the crossbar of Zubimendi. Crdenas again showed off and saw, as happened in the Metropolitano, that his team was shot with more than twenty shots at the door.
I woke up the Levante midway through the second half. If he had been able to sustain himself until then he must try to grow. I looked for Paco Lpez refreshment with Malsa, Roger and De Frutos, but the first shot was Are in ’68. Until then they hadn’t put Lex Remiro to the test.
Imanol Alguacil also moved his bench and For your He joined the list of frustrated scorers with a chopped ball before the departure of Crdenas that was lost over the crossbar. There was no team more deserving of victory than Real, but football is so fickle it made their hearts shrink with an Olympic goal attempt by Bardhi that brushed the crossbar. From that moment, reality advised them to take care of the three points that bring them to fourth place.
