Barcelona secured a late 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in a high-voltage Spanish La Liga match. Uruguayan center back Ronald Arauho brought relief to the team.
Sociedad cornered Barcelona in the opening minutes at Sociedad’s ground on Saturday night (November 4). Had two good goal chances in the first four minutes but failed to capitalize on them.
The Catalans survived thanks to goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Then Barca turned around. At the end of the first half, Felix was touched by a defender in Sociedad’s box. But the referee did not respond to that request. Now the attack and counter attack game becomes exciting. Neither team found the back of the net in the first half. In the second half, coach Xavi took Pedri and Torres off Lewandowski and Lopez. It didn’t help much either, instead the Catalans were busy dealing with Sociedad’s attacks. Neither team could send the ball into the net even during the second half. The referee added three minutes extra time to the match that day. Barcelona got the desired goal in the second minute of added time. Ronald Araujo’s goal in the injury time of the match confirmed the victory of Barcelona.
In this victory, Xavi’s team is third in the table with 8 wins in 12 matches and 27 points in three draws. On the other hand, Real’s points are 28 after playing one less game. In addition, Girona is at the top of the table with 31 points in 12 matches.
