Real Sociedad and Girona “shared” the score of the draw with 2-2 for the 34th matchday of La Liga, with the home team feeling… lost for the top four!
The Basques remained in 4th place with 62 points, but Villarreal who are one place below are at -8 with a game in hand and will have the chance to drop to five points against Athletic Bilbao. Nevertheless, the positive thing for Sociedad is that it also mathematically secured its participation in the Europa League. On the other hand, Girona climbed to 7th place with 48 points.
In the match, as it unfolded, Sociedal certainly feel disappointed as the start showed that they will have a… quiet afternoon in “San Sebastián”. Mikel Oyarthabal “opened” the score in just the 5th minute with a penalty and David Silva made it 2-0 in the 24th minute.
The visitors, however, found their mental reserves and initially reduced the score in the 37th minute with Koutos and before the end of the half, specifically in the 45th + 3rd minute, he brought the game to an absolute balance with Stouani!
In the second half, Sociedad pushed for the goal that would have given them victory, but did not waste their chances on goal, with the result not changing until the final whistle. In fact, in the 87th minute, Romeo was sent off, receiving a second yellow card.
