Summary of the match:
Rino Matarazzo, in the initial eleven of Real Sociedad, has placed Unai Marrero under the sticks, as is customary in the Europa League, Igor Zubeldia in the rear, and in attack, Orri Oskarsson, along with Mikel Oyarzabal. The match was very fast andboth teams were on par in the first few minutes of the match; both had a lot of competition in the middle of the field.
Oyarzabal, with a big left-handed shot, came very close to 2-0 in a row. Oskarsson's goal gave confidence to Matarazzo's men, but in the last few minutes of the first half it seemed that the Olympique of Lyon could have created more danger in the Real Sociedad area.
In the first leg of the second half, the Olympique of Lyon has taken a step forward and, after a good opportunity for Barrena, the goal of the individual has arrived; it has been scored by Tolisso, in the 54th minute, who has received and controlled a center within the area. The Blue and White team has tried to recover the centre of the field and Oyarzabal, with a great left-handed again, has fired and Guardsman Greif has made a very good stop.
The Basque team, in the final leg of the match, has been ambitious and eager for victory. In some counter-attacks, it has narrowly failed to do so, but the Olympique of Lyon has had a very clear opportunity to score, in the 89th minute, on a Tolisso header, but Marrero has made a perfect stop.
