Highlights:

LaLiga

  • Mikel Oyarzabal struck two times from the penalty spot as Real Sociedad brought down Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at San Mames.
  • Oyarzabal’s first penalty  came in the 30th moment when, following review with the VAR, the arbitrator chose Inigo Martinez’s test on Luca Sangalli inside the zone was unlawful.
  • Athletic were behind for only 2 minutes, in any case, with Iker Muniain drawing them level in the wake of completing off a move he had begun.

  • The little striker wriggled far from 3 adversaries on the midway line and was then in the correct place to cut home after Sociedad had made a wreck of managing Markel Susaeta’s conservative cross.
  • It would be Real Sociedad who might guarantee derby gloating rights, however, as they exploited two defeding missteps in the 2nd half to seal the win.

  • Sangalli made it 2-1 in the 47th moment with a clinical get done with following great work by Igor Zubeldia, who captured a free go before charging forward and crossing for his partner.
  • At that point, with 16 minutes to go, Sociedad were granted a 2nd penalty when Jon Bautista got to Alvarez Yeray’s under-cooked back go in front of Unai Simon before being sent flying by the Athletic goalkeeper.

  • The arbitrator instantly indicated the spot and Oyarzabal sent Simon the wrong path from 12 yards as Sociedad moved up to 8th in LaLiga.
