Real wins in Huesca despite finishing with nine players

[Askor lml]

Mikel Merino has overtaken the people of San Sebastian in the second half, who have ended up suffering after the expulsions of Juanmi and Theo.

 

Real Sociedad took the three points against Huesca in their visit to El Alcoraz (0-1) thanks to a goal by Mikel Merino 25 minutes before the end of the game, a clash that opened the fifth day of the Santander League and that allows Asier Garitano to reconnect with the victory a month later despite finishing with two expelled.

The match could have been won by either of the two contenders. Huesca looked for it with more determination than Real, and the people of San Sebastian showed better marksmanship and more control, especially for the good work of players like Theo Hernández, with a lot of prominence for the left wing.

From his boots was born the only goal of the game after an error of the home defense. The Real Madrid player, given one season in the Real, gave the leather to Merino, who defined with great talent the closest club from outside the area. The goal made the home team react, who won more meters after the expulsion of Juanmi Jiménez.

The Real Sociedad striker was sent off in the 70th minute after seeing two consecutive yellow cards. The first for a fault and the second for a protest related to that action.

The Huesca, meanwhile, tried his fortune with a whiplash of Ferreiro, a shot from 'Cucho' Hernandez that was about to surprise the 'questioned' Rulli and a Melero shot that hit the post in added time. In addition, Theo complicated the company for the Blue and Whites with his expulsion, eight minutes from the end, after giving a slap to Álex Gallar.

Finally, despite the efforts of the team led by Leo Franco, there were no more goals in the Alcoraz and the victory traveled to San Sebastian. Real Sociedad did not win from the first day of the championship.
