Review of the match Villarreal - Real S-dad:
In the much-anticipated La Liga match between Villarreal and Real Sociedad, the visitors claimed a convincing 3-0 victory at the Estadio de la Ceramica. With the score at 0-3 at half-time, Real Sociedad showed their attacking prowess and defended their lead effectively, securing all three points. The game started with intense action from both sides as they looked to take control early on. However, it was Villarreal who committed the first foul of the match, receiving a yellow card in the 23rd minute. The culprit was Etienne Capoue, who received a warning and subsequently became more cautious in his actions. Real Sociedad took advantage of the situation and made their first substitution in the 30th minute, bringing on Brian Merino in place of Benyat Turrientes. This proved to be a decisive move as Merino struck a sensational strike just eight minutes later against Villarreal. Clearly hungry for more goals, Real Sociedad continued to trouble the Villarreal defence with another quick strike. In the 41st minute, Mikel Oyarzabal put Martin Zubimendi in the striking position, who made no mistake to score the second goal. But the visitors didn't stop there: in the last minutes of the first half Takefusa Kubo made the score 3-0. In the second half, Villarreal were in dire need of a comeback and made an early substitution.
Angel Altimira replaced Iñaki Ahomacha to bring a fresh attacking stream to the game. However, their hopes were dashed when Alvaro Pedraza received a yellow card in the 49th minute, adding to their disappointment. In the 59th minute, Real Sociedad decided to make a second substitution, with Igor Zubeldia coming on in place of Jon Pacheco. The purpose of the substitution was to maintain the advantage in midfield and consolidate a comfortable lead. However, Zubeldia's enthusiasm took over and after a minute he was shown a yellow card. As the game progressed, both teams made more substitutions to keep the energy levels high. Villarreal introduced Javi Lopez Morales in the 74th minute, hoping to find a breakthrough, while Real Sociedad released Umar Sadiq and Carlos Fernandez in the 78th minute. Both teams made their final substitutions in the final minutes of the game. Villarreal replaced Daniel Parejo with Ricard Terrat, while Gerard Moreno made way for Ben Brereton Diaz. Without any drastic changes to the scoreline, Real Sociedad calmly held a three goal lead until the final whistle. The match ended with a resounding victory for Real Sociedad, who showed their strength and quality in all areas of the pitch. Villarreal, on the other hand, will be left to reflect on missed opportunities and errors in defence. This result has had a significant impact on the La Liga standings: Real Sociedad have climbed higher, while Villarreal will have to rebuild and recover in the coming matches.
In the next round the following matches await the rivals: Real vs Villarreal, Real C-Dad vs Betis.
