the royal society added his second victory in the Europa League after a hard-fought match in which it was difficult for him to overcome the defensive framework proposed by Omonia. The ‘txuriurdines’ went ahead thanks to a distant shot from Guevara. However, in the only opportunity for the Cypriots, Bruno would close the gap after a realistic defensive error. Sorloth, to a pass from Kubo, would solve a stuck game.
The set of Imano Sheriff dominated the ball in a first half in which Omonia established a defensive system difficult to collapse, leaving few gaps and spaces. The first shot was the work of Brais Méndez, after stealing a ball inside the area. His shot from the peak of the small area diverted Fabiano to a corner. In the subsequent action, Aritz Elustondo headed wide.
The center-back himself had a new chance in the 23rd minute after coming in alone to finish off a center from Merino. Before, Álex Sola asked for a penalty after falling in the area shot down by Kitsos. The right winger, very insistent on the wing, was very active for Real in the first half.
And after a few minutes in which the ‘txuriurdines’ had a hard time imposing themselves and opening Omonia’s defensive gear, without the possibility of filtering passes, about half an hour into the game Guevara caught a rebound at the edge of the area and got out of the sleeve a straight right to the square. Impossible for Fabiano.
After the break, the game script did not change. But this time, with a goal advantage, Real did not have that need to find a gap among the Omonia defense board. Imanol Alguacil’s men dominated, but they didn’t suffer behind against a Cypriot team that didn’t even reach the realistic area.
Sorloth was able to widen the gap after receiving in the race with a powerful shot that Fabiano saved. And when everything seemed very controlled for Real, an isolated action with a defensive error was going to cost them the equalizer. He won the back of the Bruno defense with a long ball from Miletic and, after controlling with his chest, the ball went wide. However, the lack of understanding at the time of clearing between Elustondo and Remiro would be used by the Brazilian to score 1-1 on the only occasion of Omonia Nicosia.
After the conceded goal, Real woke up and put another gear into the game. It was then thatin the 80′, Kubo took advantage of a long shot from Gorosabel and assisted a Sorloth who finished off at will to put the donostiarras ahead again.
Moments later, as would happen last Saturday at Cádiz-Barça, referee Kristo Tohver stopped the match due to a problem with a spectator in the stands of the Reale Arena, who was receiving medical assistance from the Red Cross. This time, things would not go any further and two minutes later the game would resume and Real would hold the score without any problems.
