Espanyol - Real Sociedad | Laliga Round 2 Year 24/25

[Music] and a warm welcome to the Catalan Capital Barcelona our action comes to you from the rcde stadium I'm Derek Ray positioned here on the commentary Gantry and alongside me at the microphone is Stuart Robson and the focus is on one of the finest leagues in World football La Liga it's espanol up against Roy sadad yes thanks as always Derek we've got two good teams here so I'm anticipating a really good game the atmosphere is electric inside the stadium before kickoff and hopefully we're not [Applause] disappointed and that is the sort of tackle he had scripted in his mind so the starting 11 for real soad othal plays with Adnan yanui in the wide areas and the attack is Led today by Alexander isach a move of promise on the [Applause] flank but nothing comes of [Applause] it isak room to maneuver on the wing Crossing possibilities now delivering that deep cross but I'll tell you what that goes down as a misc he'll be kicking himself Stuart well it's a poor effort but he's been given offside so he's got away with that one pado intelligent threaded pass here well even marginally offside is still against the law yeah and he just needs to hold his run for a fraction longer and he would have been in on goal isak it's with Oar Sabal still pushing for that goal that would see them Forge ahead and it goes the goal for 1 n and that changes the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] dynamic well let's have another look at this because he does really well to pick the right pass here while the movement in the box is equal to it it's such good timing what a goal and the ball moving again what sort of response will we see from them [Applause] now really getting stuck in defensively [Applause] Rafa Mikel mourino excellent Vision oh moving it nicely B attending to his defensive chores look is can he finish and another one two quick goals will it turn out to be the two punch knockout well just look at this he gives the goalkeeper no chance there that's just gone in off the crossbar that's a very good finish a second goal for them here this attack looks highly [Applause] promising yanel errera a really topn piece of Defending well no surprise there ra assia that have had more of the possession and that's been because of their ability to win the ball back so quickly their pressing has been excellent and they just haven't got working it's been a fantastic performance up to now well for power 10 out of 10 for placement maybe eight yanel errera really a very poor ball and space to attack con to the Penalty area keeper getting the touch and he clears it out of Harm's [Applause] Way well nearing the halftime interval and suffice it to say they're not making great use of Home Advantage St moment here not out of the woods yet and second time around he scores but the keeper left to wonder what his Defenders were doing well as you can see the first safe is a good one but they can't react quickly enough to the second ball the keepers a bit unlucky [Applause] really so back underway intriguing contest this given the 2-1 score line a creative look about this [Applause] that's someone to play it to O superb [Applause] stop and so it is the first half story has been [Music] written plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second half begins well it's a really poor challenge now what's the referee going to do about it well it was apparently a bookable offense well no debate over that one it's a yellow card all day long that's how to rob them of possession foul there free kick awarded well a judgment call for the referee many an official would have cautioned him Mikel mourino it's with Oar Sabal Silva isach DAV Silva and still danger here and I think the threat has been averted but he's been the standout for a side so far don't you think Stuart yes he'll be pleased with first half display his movement was good as was his passing and of course he took his goal well just needs to continue that form into the second half well it was a foul but good use of Advantage by the referee and it's with isach oh good reflexes from the keeper and the danger aever it well it is going to be a yellow card and I can't imagine he's too surprised no he was always going to get a book in there he's been warned well it still could be dangerous [Applause] Silva they've gone and scored again they're doing everything in their power to make sure they're not pegged [Music] [Applause] back well here's the goal again and it's a great ball to put him through good Vision to set up the chance while the movement in the Box is equal to it it's such good timing what a goal so on with the action and 3-1 the score line at the [Applause] moment Leandro Cabrera and dispossessed they might be able to get in now that's a useful cross teammate available can they put it away well the goalkeeper got there in the end well his recovery is brilliant here so athletic well Derek this has been a really good performance as you can see they've created numerous chances they're winning the game comfortably and they could go on and score more this could get really embarrassing moving the ball effectively looking chance for ISAC another goal and surely there's no way they can throw this away absolutely dominant well as the replay shows that's gone in off the post his heart must have been in his mouth there it's a good finish in the [Applause] end well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been removed [Applause] the this attack looks highly promising delivered into the box and the keeper did magnificently well that's just a wonderful save how did he stop [Applause] that over it comes and they deal with a threat this time just the challenge that was required getting in there to [Applause] intercept well no stopping him Adnan [Applause] yanui Splendid tackle and a Thro in coming up well they've been getting the substitute ready and now they will make the personel change KY bar oh he failed to deliver that [Applause] time Silva and the ball with sirot foru as's a slide draw pass a goal and I'll tell you what on this sort of form very few would lay a glove on them [Applause] well here it is again the through ball is absolutely inch perfect and his movement so clever once he gets onto it there's only one thought in his head smash it as hard as possible what a good goal a glut of goals 51 it is so 2 minutes of stoppage time to be added [Applause] on and there goes the final whistle much to the disappointment of their supporters well Derek that just wasn't good enough today a lack of a game plan too many players below par and not enough energy all around the pitch a really
