- 27' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Albert Gudmundsson, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 37' 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.

- 45' David Silva was booked on 45.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
- 58' Portu puts Real Sociedad de Futbol on the lead.
- 62' It is a substitution in Real Sociedad de Futbol team. Alexander Isak is replaced by Willian Jose on 62 minute.
- 63' Zakaria Aboukhlal has so much to prove this time. He replaces Albert Gudmundsson on 63 minute.

- 86' 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 Zakaria Aboukhlal suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' Another substitution for Real Sociedad de Futbol to replace Mikel Oiarzabal by Ander Barrenetxea on 89 minute.
