San Sebastián (EFE) Militao, and Ander Barrenetxea.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team was not at all comfortable and conceded too much in a first half in which Real wanted to carry the weight of the game, although without being able to get the least bit confused because each ball that the white team recovered also meant danger for the locals.
White’s first warning came in a great shot from the semicircle of the txuri urdin area by Tchouameni, who finished off marvelously and forced Remiro to show off to avoid the Real Madrid goal; just like the Navarrese goalkeeper did in a header from Rodrigo that was going to score if he did not intervene.
Real’s reaction would come from the boots of a former Madrid player, the Japanese Takefusa Kubo, who was the blue and white attacker who best interpreted what the game required and with his verticality forced Nacho to sweat ink every time he got hold of the ball. ball the Japanese striker.
La Real, for all
La Real had their great opportunity to go into halftime with an advantage in a corner kick in which Real Madrid was not fine at all, they missed Martín Zubimendi’s mark and the international only hit the crossbar with Courtois beaten.
The people from San Sebastián went for it all, seeing that their rival was lacking in reaction and surpassed in the midfield, Sorloth seized the ball to face Courtois and seeing him unmarked, left it to Silva, so that the canary surprisingly finished badly and wasted an opportunity gold for yours.
The second half started off fantastically for the Basques, who took advantage of a blunder by Militao in a dangerous loan to Courtois short-circuited by Take Kubo, getting ahead of the Belgian goalkeeper to open the scoring with great conviction.
Real Madrid was touched, they showed their offensive potential with brushstrokes and almost always looking back because when they lost a ball, Real would rush towards the white goal to end the match.
The expulsion of Carvajal, who already had a yellow card and entered Aihen Muñoz strong in midfield, would definitively pave a confirmed local victory five minutes from time when Ander Barrenetxea scored the second in a superb match to end four years of white superiority .
