Exploring the Exciting Moments of the Real Sociedad vs. Rayo Vallecano Match! ⚽

Hello, football fans! Today, we're going to discuss a truly exciting match. It was the La Liga EA Sports game between Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano.

I was absolutely thrilled when I learned about this game! 🤩 Shall we take a closer look at what happened?

A Tense First Half, A Breath-Taking Stalemate 😮

The first update regarding the match was on October 5th, at 19:22 CEST in 2025. According to journalist Raul Castro, the game took place at the Anoeta Stadium.

The first 45 minutes of the match proceeded with a remarkably 'consistent flow'. Interestingly, neither team had a high number of shots. According to statistical data, possession was evenly split at 50% to 50%. 🫱

However, it's fortunate that there were no cautions or dismissals! There were 0 yellow cards and 0 red cards. On the other hand, Real Sociedad was fouled 8 times, while Rayo Vallecano was fouled 3 times. Conversely, Real Sociedad committed 4 fouls, and Rayo Vallecano committed 9. 😅

In terms of possession, Real Sociedad lost possession 12 times, and Rayo Vallecano lost it 26 times. Real Sociedad regained possession 29 times, while Rayo Vallecano regained it 23 times. Both teams recorded 0 offsides. 😯

Just before the end of the first half, at 45+1 minutes, the 'halftime' arrived. Overall, it can be said that there was a tight battle of wits rather than aggressive play. Apart from minor chances from Guedes and De Frutos, there weren't many notable attacking plays.

Lineup Changes, New Attempts 👀

Before the match, coach Sergio Francisco made four changes to compensate for the defeat at Montjuïc. The coach replaced both full-backs and introduced 'Sun' and 'Pillar' into the core lineup. 💪

As a result, Real Sociedad's starting lineup was as follows:

Remiro
Aramburu
Zubeldia
Caleta-Car
Sergio Gomez
Gorotxytes
Brace Menez
Oyarzabal
Baretxia
Gudes

I'm curious to see how these lineup changes impacted the flow of the game!
