Real Sociedad, in the minority, almost lost the victory over the outsider of La Liga

Elche and Real Sociedad were destined to close the 4th round of La Liga, and the teams did not disappoint, showing a spectacular match. In the first half, the guests scored two goals, thereby seemingly deciding the winner of the match. In the 11th minute, Yob Ochieng played extremely skillfully: from the edge of the penalty area, he punched a shot under the crossbar. Carlos Soler scored a successful pass. Later, Yangel Herrera took a one-touch shot from the edge of the penalty area and beat the goalkeeper, directing the ball into the center of the goal. However, everything was changed by the red card received by Jon Martin. In the 61st minute, Luka Suchic brought the matter to a rout, but the VAR assistants called the referee to check the moment regarding the violation of the rules at the beginning of the goal attack. It turned out that the white-blue defender made a dangerous tackle, for which he rightly received a straight red card, and the goal was disallowed. On emotions, Elche quickly won back one ball: Viktor Chust García sent a well-timed pass to the edge of the penalty area. It was used by Toma Lemar, who with a cannon shot into the lower left corner of the goal did not leave the goalkeeper a chance. In the 74th minute, Fer Ninho was in the right place at the right time, and the ball flew into the net from him. However, the decisive word was with the Matarazzo team. Luka Suchic completed the attack with successful individual actions, flawlessly shooting from the penalty area. Matias Dituro just watched as the ball flew into the left corner of the goal. According to the results of 90+ minutes, Real Sociedad did hold on to victory and climbed to the 9th step of the tournament table. Elche continues to remain in the relegation zone.
