Real Madrid lived up to expectations and defeated, not without complications, a combative Real Sociedad and will face Barça in the grand final of the Spanish Super Cup next Sunday. White was superior and managed to transform their dominance into goals in important moments of the match. In the final stretch, Real reacted, protesting a goal disallowed due to a previous foul.
Alberto Toril’s players came out with enormous conviction and before the fifth minute they had already scored their first goal. Caroline Weir took advantage of a loose ball in the area to shoot the San Sebastian goal. The goal was a prelude to a dominance that Real failed to overcome.
Madrid struck very early, but Real reacted
Despite not feeling comfortable, the reaction of Real Sociedad was formidable and they soon managed to step into the opposite field with danger. Before the tenth minute, Nerea found Amaiur in space with a formidable pass. The forward dribbled past the goalkeeper and scored with sufficiency in the presence of a rival.
The tie restored confidence to the San Sebastián team and enraged White, who redoubled their offensive in the following minutes. The clear chances did not arrive, but it was a matter of time. La Real lived too long in its own area. Before the break came the second goal in a long combination that concluded with Filippa Angeldal’s low shot at the point.
The passing of the minutes made Madrid’s superiority evident
Unlike the other semifinal, this time the VAR worked, which was also key to annulling a penalty awarded by the referee on Athenea del Castillo. The review allowed the play to be annulled, since it was the Madrid player who stepped on the San Sebastian player. On the other hand, the VAR did not want to enter into a penalty that seemed clear due to Amaiur being knocked down in the area.
La Real was gaining meters in search of the tie that would bring it back to life, however, the one who hit was Madrid. Linda caught the ball in her own field and began a race that ended with the Real Madrid player’s goal with some luck. His shot, very focused, was deflected by the goalkeeper.
La Real asked for a penalty in the white area with 2-1 and protested an annulled goal
The San Sebastián team reacted, and in the final stretch they closed the gap with Amaiur’s second goal. Before that, Real protested a lot because the referee disallowed a goal due to a previous foul. This time he did not resort to VAR either. On Sunday at 12:00, Spanish football will experience another classic.
