- 0' The wait is over. Real Sociedad de Fútbol get us underway at Reale Seguros Stadium.

- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alvaro Fernandez made 250 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 64' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brian Olivan, as he is very good at scoring at Reale Seguros Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
