When everything flows, how the film changes. Real Sociedad abused a weak Dinamo kyiv, which is already leaving the competition, beating them 3-0 with a great first half of football and effectiveness despite the lack of several important and regular players in the team. It took them 33 minutes to win three important points and manage the load in the second half. It was liked Urkowho made the team play, scored a double Oyarzabal and shot Becker. Fifth consecutive victory in all competitions and fourth in a row at home. Las Palmas is missing to have paid a good part of Anoeta’s debt with its people in this final stretch of 2024.
It is a vital victory to continue climbing the European table to twelfth place, with ten points already and three to spare (and 12 teams in the middle) with the first eliminated, which would be Braga. Europe now rests until January, but Real is very much alive, with the ticket for the playoffs in its pocket (but unsealed) and with serious options of entering the top 8 to go in ‘business’ to the round of 16. They will have to beat PAOK and probably also Lazio. They already beat Dinamo, well earned.

Zubimendi and Barrene, KO
Imanol Alguacil finally could not count on Zubimendi neither Barrenetxeawhom he left out of the call. And he didn’t need them. Urko He took the place of the San Sebastian pivot and Becker He entered on the left. Olasagasti was the companion of brais in the core. The defense remained intact. There were four changes in total compared to Leganés.
Review and quick judgment
La Real completely dominated the match and sealed it in half an hour of total offensive recital against an increasingly dedicated Dinamo. There was an initial Ukrainian scare that ended in nothing, but from then on the visitors barely left their field. They were subdued and allowed spaces that Real took advantage of to do damage and kill the game by scoring goals. 19 realistic shots, ten on goal. And three goals.
The technical and concept display of Urko On his return to the green in Anoeta four months later he was one to put in academies. He improved all the plays with technique and vision and that allowed Real to attack more and more frequently and quickly. Kubo He almost took advantage of his opening in the fifth minute, but shot wide. The Japanese was very active. He made a great unmarking feint to run into space for the ball. Aramburu. His cross was deflected and almost slipped into the goal. But the goal was going to take two more minutes to arrive. Becker put a ball in the area, Oyarzabal He turned and was tripped. Clear penalty. The ’10’ wasn’t very clear about it so it took him a while to throw it. And he threw it wrong. Arrest Bushchan but the rebound escaped him and the captain shot the ball to make it 1-0.
In five minutes it was 2-0. but before Urko He allowed himself the luxury of making a magical wall with brais on the front. The Galician did not get past the Ukrainian goalkeeper, who also immediately stopped the volleyball from outside the goal. Becker It was going to be a great goal. The Suriname player was left wanting and quenched that goal-scoring thirst in the 23rd minute with another shot, this time with his right foot, almost from no angle. Urko He completely broke Dinamo with a very good low pass when the ball was released, Kubo received inside. Oyarzabal He didn’t get to shoot and the Japanese picked up the ball to give it to him about two meters away. Becker and that this one scored. Another great goal and Real connected.
Oyarzabal I was also eager and sparky. He had 3-0 in his left boot but Bushchan stopped again. So he tried the right. Olasa He masterfully filtered a ball, the ’10’ dribbled past his pair in the area and scored a great goal from the ‘killer’ with his right foot. The 103rd in his private account. Doublet. Real continued arriving until half-time, without any further success. Urko was able to score the fourth with a header in the only corner well taken by brais.
Quick changes
The party had no history and Imanol He sent less regulars to warm up already in the first half. We had to think about Las Palmas and Celta and also those who barely play. It was his day. came in Marin to rest for brais.
Dinamo took a logical and expected step forward and shot for the first time in the 54th minute, but it was wide. La Real dropped the pace two or three points. And they entered Magunazelaia, Odriozola and Oskarsson. The Icelander returned after his injury during the November break. Deserved rest for Aramburu, Kubo and Oyarzabal. Magunhe headed a cross to the post Becker. The match didn’t have much else beyond a penalty on Marin that the German did not see and the VAR did not consider reviewing. He missed Jon Martin either Ruperezin addition to a Sadiq that didn’t even heat up. But everything is not possible. La Real advances in Europe and continues to find itself again.
