Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Reale Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Sociedad de Futbol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' It looks surprising Real Sociedad de Futbol does not make any changes. Orri Oskarsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Ilaix Moriba is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for RC Celta de Vigo so far.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 22' It’s gonna be a card for Yangel Herrera.
- 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Real Sociedad de Futbol side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 32' The 25-year-old Pablo Duran has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 37' Over 37 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 328 games and scored 383 goals.
- 47' Real Sociedad de Futbol currently sit 13 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 68' Andres Antanon has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 69' RC Celta de Vigo ring the changes. Ferran Jutgla has done his job and it is now time for Couhaib Driouech to step up.
- 71' The Real Sociedad de Futbol bench stirs into life. Orri Oskarsson is withdrawn and Goncalo Guedes gets his opportunity.
- 76' Iago Aspas is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Real Sociedad de Futbol tonight.
- 79' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Couhaib Driouech on 79 minutes.
- 81' A moment of madness from Luka Sucic on 81 minutes earns him a card. Real Sociedad de Futbol will be frustrated.
