Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — RCD Espanyol de Barcelona and Real Sociedad de Fútbol get this one started.
  • 5' Real Sociedad de Fútbol has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Spain international Alvaro Fernandez has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 18' Oscar Gil Regano is having his name booked by the referee on 18.
  • 23' Takefusa Kubo doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 38' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 44' Time for substitution for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona. Fernando Calero is replaced by Sergi Gomez.
  • 46' Fresh legs for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona! Ruben Saez comes on to replace Oscar Gil Regano.
  • 51' Real Sociedad de Fútbol is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 52' Alexander Sorloth has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 52 minutes.
  • 57' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Martin Braithwaite.
  • 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 63' Goal! Leandro Cabrera scores his 15 goal in 316 matches.

  • 74' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sergi Darder makes it 1-3.
  • 79' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Fernando Calero suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Leandro Cabrera is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
  • 81' A change in the Real Sociedad de Futbol ranks — Alexander Sorloth exits the field as Carlos Fernandez enters on 81.

  • 87' Assisted by Jose Carlos Lazo with the perfectly-timed delivery and Brian Olivan makes no mistake. 2-3!
  • 90' That is a Red card for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona. Leandro Cabrera will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' The RCD Espanyol de Barcelona bench stirs into life. Vinicius de Souza Costa is withdrawn and Jose Gragera gets his opportunity.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Real Sociedad de Fútbol players.
