The Royal has been superior and has struck her first blow in San Mamés (0-1)

The Royal Society has won 0-1 to Athletic in the one-way match of the King's Cup semifinals played in San Mamés. The Blue White team has been far superior to the red-white in the first match and has even deserved a higher prize in La Catedral.

In the first half, the Royal has been superior to Athletic and has deserved to go ahead to rest for the number of occasions. The truth is that the red-whites have had the initiative in the first few minutes, but the Matarazzo have taken a short time to take possession of the ball from the Valverde team.

The Donostiarras have claimed thepenalty of  Jauregizar to Carlos Soler  in the 19th minute.

In the 22nd minute, a good play by the Royal Society has been completed by Oyarzabal, his shot has gone near Padilla's left squad. In the 24th minute, in another great play by the Blue White, Marin has not just hitPadilla .

After half an hour,the red-white goalkeeper stopped Jon Martin's big head again on the second stick, missing Guedes, and Carlos Soler focused the standing ball play.

Then,in a counter-attack by Athletic , Unai Gomez  failed to control a ball when he had the opportunity to stand alone in front of Remiro. Then Remiro stopped his shot from outside the Navarro area without difficulty.

In the final stretch of the first half, Turrientes fired a dangerous shot from outside the area, but Rego diverted his head to corner.

In the 42nd minute, the Royal Society has again claimed penalty by the handof Laporte, but the VAR has not summoned the referee among the most prominent white blue protests. Then there has been a dispute between Adama and Aramburu in which the referee has warned both players. The first part has ended with a shot from Iñaki Williams to Remiro's hands.

After the break, the script of the match has not changed. As soon as the second half began, the Royal had a double occasion . The great center of Guedes was topped by Oyarzabal, Padilla made another big stop, but the rechace fell to Marin, who sent the ball to the post .

The Guipuzcoan team has won the prize in Guedes' other inertia bat, who has ceded the ball to the Turrientes , overtaking Padilla.

Before, Valverde has made four changes at the same time and one on the lawn, Nico Williams, has had a good opportunity to draw, but his weak head has gone outside. In the last few minutes, the Royal has controlled the match well in front of a Athletic who has created very little danger in attack.
