The Royal Society resurfaces in the Reale Arena in a festival of scoring force and good football, against a Cádiz that showed important defensive problems, and that was also seen heavily penalized by arbitration decisions that came from the VAR, although it must be said, they were totally correct and fair. Of course, it cannot be ignored in the reading of the game that those controversial plays decided from the VOR room why Pizarro Gómez was not fine on the grass marked the development of the game. But assessing them in another way would have been unfair, although for the Cadiz team it rains when it is wet, and those kinds of decisions already weigh on him like a slab. La Real made the most of those plays that they also looked for, because from the beginning they went for the game overwhelming their rival with possession of the ball. Oyarzabal scored twice before the break and left the shock on track, that later Isak would finish in the second half, when the Cadiz team was already with one less man due to the expulsion of Marcos Mauro. The VAR will appear in the photo of the key moves, it is true; but it is convenient not to be blinded by it, and to point out that La Real gave a soccer review to a Cádiz who was very weak in the defensive field and who also gave all kinds of facilities to an inspired realistic attack, which this time everything that had not wanted to enter in previous days entered. Cádiz is touched, the Real breathes relieved with the hope that this time it is the beginning of the end of their bad dynamics of the last months.
From the beginning, the clash of styles was evident on the Reale Arena pitch. Real Sociedad wanted the ball, and Cádiz wanted to become strong well retracted and in defense to go quickly to the counter. It was the txuri-urdin who carried the weight of the party, but the people of Cádiz were not intimidated by this dominance through the ball. A couple of approaches with relative danger from La Real, starring Isak and Gorosabel, gave way to several arrivals from Negredo with Jairo running down the left wing. But without auction, because the problem of Cádiz is that it did not finish on the goal of Remiro.
And then, the VAR festival arrived, because the collegiate Pizarro Gómez did not find out on the pitch. Mateu Lahoz had to call him to decree penalty by Negredo’s hand. Oyarzabal, as always infallible from eleven meters, did not fail to overtake Real. On the next play, Cádiz could have had the opportunity to tie, in an action in which the ball hit Zubeldia in the hand. The referee decreed maximum penalty, but Mateu Lahoz warned him from the VOR room to tell him that it was glued to his body, so the penalty was not taken. And on top of that, a few minutes later, a rude mistake by the Cadiz defense that takes advantage of it to stand alone in front of Ledesma and score 2-0. But the festival of VAR corrections did not end there. Pizarro Gómez also did not see how Mauro grabbed Oyarzabal when he was alone in front of Ledesma. Clear expulsion that came after asking him to review it from the VOR room. Cádiz was left with one less player just before the break. And the Real completed 45 very round minutes.
The second half, despite Álvaro Cervera’s changes, the game’s tonic did not change. La Real continued as a steamroller passing over Cádiz, making a very lucid game in attack, also helped by the enormous facilities that the defense of the Cadiz team gave. If in the first half it was Oyarzabal who was in charge of initiating the realistic superiority, after the break it was Alexander Isaac, that I had already done the first 45 excellent minutes. First he finished off first inside the area a precise and precious deep pass from Januzaj. And then he headed at pleasure free of mark a rejected ball after another Januzaj center. The Real’s scoring festival was coming, but Jairo appeared to take advantage of the only imprecision of the realistic defense to make up the result. And already in the final stretch, Merquelanz was able to do the little hand on two occasions, but first they canceled it due to Oyarzabal’s offside, and then Ledesma flew to clear his free header. No more goals were needed, the Real resurfaces in a big way and leaves a Cádiz touched with obvious defensive problems and who to top it all arbitration decisions and VAR do not help.

Bailiff: “We have missed very clear occasions”
Real Sociedad coach, Imanol Alguacil, did not hide his great satisfaction at the victory against Cádiz (4-1), but showed his “anger” at the number of opportunities that his squad continues to forgive.
“I am angry because we have failed very clear chances. Yes I am happy on the one hand because we have dominated and won, but failing a lot”, Sheriff pointed out in the Anoeta press room, where he assured that “it’s time to continue working.”
“The last series of bad results was due to the lack of efficiency, today 7 goals could be scored and although no one remembers the day after tomorrow that much has been forgiven, I do remember other great games with generated chances and everything we forgive”he added.
He believes that “to be up there and be able to compete against the best, it is mandatory to improve”, since, he recalled, “the rival, with few arrivals”, has “scored a goal” and soon a whole Manchester will be in the Europa League. United.
He congratulated himself, on the other hand, for recovering David Silva, who played “to pick up the pace and it’s good news.” “Like the return of Illarramendi without taking damage after playing many minutes and I also see everyone prepared in a very special moment”, stressed.
Cervera: “Something goes wrong if you have to watch television four times”
Analysis of the encounter. “I can analyze the game until minute 26, when they whistle the penalty, from there, they better, because they are better than us, but without great stress, problems or goalkeeper stops. Then comes our penalty that they take from us and the expulsion of Marcos Mauro. From there I did not go into analyzing the game because we lowered our arms a little, although we should not do it, but even I felt defeated. They came very easily. They are blows that they give you and I imagine that then it has passed us and we have risen again. Until 26 ‘the team was not bad. They have been better ”.
Open letter from Vizcaíno to Rubiales. “I have been told that the president has sent a letter to the president of the Federation, but I have not read it. In my life, when I have felt a possible injustice I have always tried to solve it. In football it is difficult because there are some who rule and others who we have to obey. I don’t know if it’s good to complain. I want to spend a few days and forget about what happened and prepare for the next game because I am quite touched with this.
Sensations during the game. “Today, during the game, there was a moment when I sat down and stood still without knowing what to think, but then I thought that it was my profession and I had to push forward. It is the first time this has happened to me in my career. They are better than us and they would have beaten us perhaps in the same way, but whenever television is watched, things happen against us. Then they kick someone off your bench and they talk badly to you because they talk rude to you. I’ll get up soon and I’ll change. We must continue because by complaining we will not gain anything. You cannot speak even if you are right, you have to shut up and continue ”.
What if you said what you think? “Surely they would call my attention, they would sanction me … with everything that has happened in the world of Spanish football, the only one who is aware of a sanction is me and I really did not say anything. This is a losing war, you don’t have to say anything. It is the only place in the world where even if you are right you cannot use it. To follow. Something is being done wrong when in a match you have to watch television four or five times … too many mistakes are made in a match.
