Real Sociedad gave up a 1-1 draw this Saturday at the Reale Arena against a Girona team that they clearly dominated, but who equalized in a defensive oversight with the goal in the final stretch of the Ukrainian Artem Dovbykthe most expensive signing in the history of the Catalan club.
La Real began just as dominant at home as it ended last season. The people from San Sebastián already gave a warning with the game just started in a ball that Carlos Fernández narrowly missed, but the second would no longer be a wasteful attempt but was the genesis of Take Kubo’s goal, with a great assist from Aihen Muñoz so that the Japanese scored crossed and low in minute 4.

Míchel’s eleven could get into a mess greater than quarter of an hour when the debuting referee in the First Division, Hernández Maeso, signaled a penalty on Oyarzabal that he would annul for the relief of Girona after the appropriate VAR review.
The people from Girona, with an immaculate pre-season and a solid project for this campaign, grew as the match went on, although without actually putting Álex Remiro in serious trouble in the first 45 minutes.
The final confrontation between Le Normand and Stuani, more typical of wrestling than of a football match, resulted in a yellow card for both and Girona was left without the maximum penalty that its players were demanding, so the second half despite If it was still open, it was open to Gipuzkoans.
The high rhythm of the match was maintained after the breakthe fatigue did not surface and the locals refused to speculate with a favorable result that, at this stage of the season and with the teams under construction, is a treasure.
Girona tried again and again but rarely stepped on area and even less did it worry Remiro, the goals scored during the summer (14) had no continuity in San Sebastián and Míchel’s team began to thicken as the minutes progressed.
