An unrecognizable for the better Villarreal emphatically defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 in “Anoeta” in the match that “opened” the curtain” of the 26th matchday of La Liga and escaped once and for all from the danger zone, in which it was circling since the beginning of this season, effectively “cutting off” the way to the top four from the Basques, since they are -11 more matches away from the fourth-placed Atlético Madrid, who on Saturday night play at the home of the trailing Almeria and can be found at +14 from the San Sebastian team.
The “yellow submarine” imposed its rhythm and reached 2-0 against Komesana in the 17th and 47th minutes, in the 86th minute Merino gave the Basques some hope, but in the 95th minute Sorloth shaped the final result.
