Real Sociedad vs Barcelona, La Liga: TV & Streaming, Live Thread
FULL-TIME: Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona. Barcelona didn’t do much to earn any points in this match, but the terrible VAR decision that disallowed a goal in the first half is definitely a significant factor in the outcome. Ultimately, not every game can end in victory.
SECOND HALF BEGINS! Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona: We're back in action at Anoeta!
HALFTIME: Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona. Barcelona had a legitimate goal denied, leading to a decline in their performance. This allowed Sociedad to take the lead by halftime. The Catalan team will need to significantly step up their game if they hope to turn things around in the second half.
33’ GOAL, Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona (Becker): Sociedad strikes first after Barcelona give away possession in their own territory. Sheraldo Becker gets a clear shot inside the penalty area and slots it into the bottom corner.
The semi-automated offside replay clearly indicates that Lewandowski was onside because the last Sociedad defender was behind him, with their feet trailing behind the Polish player. It’s evident that Barça was unfairly denied a goal.
14' DISALLOWED GOAL: The goal was negated due to a slight offside on Lewandowski. It seems that the decision was made by VAR instead of the semi-automated system, which is quite unusual, to say the least.
13’ GOAL!!! Real Sociedad 0-1 Barcelona (Lewandowski): BARÇA STRIKES FIRST!!! Pau Cubarsí delivers an incredible pass that sets up Frenkie de Jong, who finds himself unmarked at the edge of the penalty area. After his attempt is deflected, the ball lands perfectly for Robert Lewandowski, who slams it into the net with a powerful volley!
