Valencia 1-0 Real Sociedad: breather to stay in La Liga

“Mestaja’s” thrilling game found a big winner for Valencia, who bent their resistance Real Sociedad with 1-0 to the 23rd round of La Liga and made an important saving step.

After six consecutive defeats in each competition, the “Fledermäuse” looked their opponents in the eye and took the lead in the 40th minute through a Robin le Norman own goal.

Giorki Mamardashvili played a key role in keeping a clean sheet with a great intervention early in the 2nd half. Things could have gone better for the home side if VAR hadn’t warned the referee to reverse a penalty he had awarded.

The Basques looked pretty tired and despite having 70% possession they didn’t create many chances in the 2nd half and were reduced to one loss, increasing the pressure on Atlético and Betis for the top 4.
