This Tuesday night, Real Sociedad became the first team to qualify for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, whose final will be played again at La Cartuja in Seville.
Imanol Alguacil's men visited Balaídos again after having done so last Saturday with a narrow victory against Celta de Vigo (0-1) and rediscovering victory in the League, and this Tuesday night the script did not change in the cup competition.
Rafa Benítez, who still hasn't found the key to give peace to the celestial team, brought on Jailson and Tapia, while the San Sebastian team came out with everything. And in the second minute of play, he gave it results.
Mikel Oyarzabal finished off at will a good cross from Mikel Merino, who wasted an inaccuracy in the local area, and put Real ahead, who continued trying in the first half although the scoreboard did not move again, while Celta created little danger in the goal defended by Remiro.
The dynamic changed in the second half, with a local team that arrived more consistently at the visiting area, but without clearly generating chances.
De la Torre and Aspas entered to reinforce the sky blue attack, but it was Real that struck again through Becker, who finished a quick counterattack and scored in his debut.
Celta kept trying and had their reward in the 92nd minute, when De la Torre hit a powerful cross shot and beat Remiro, but it was too late and the score ended up reflecting the final 1-2.
In this way, the San Sebastian team advances in the Copa del Rey and remains alive in the three competitions for another week.
