(Laliga 2024/2025): Highlights ESPANYOL - REAL SOCIEDAD

Juan Garcia, of course, winner of Olympic gold. Mendes. Traore on the overlap, maybe got that a little bit earlier than he expected. Or desired. Now Gomez sells the dummy, goes back outside on Cardona. There's the rocket off his left foot. And it flies into the stands of the RCVE Stadium. Sergio Gomez. A kick is sent towards goal. It has to be tipped over by Juan Garcia. From Bryce Mendes. Here's Vélez. Vélez with that P-roller along the ground. Javi Poirot is not happy with it. This is promising from Real Sociedad. They've managed to open it up onto the right. A quick ball in. It was Bryce Mendes sliding towards it. Sliced clear. The break is on for Javi Poirot. He's got support there in the centre. Will he square it to Vélez? He does, but it's just behind the Argentine. And it's cleared off the line. Once again, Espanyol let down when on the break. A lack of effectiveness on the run. They might be caught out. Trying to deliver that in. The ball comes loose. Romero. There's the low deflected shot. The back heel from Vélez was a cheeky one to try and Maybe be sterner tests in defence than Espanyol, who's been profligate. Here's Takekubo. Takekubo buries it! Takekubo with a venomous strike. Smashing the ball into the net. And Takekubo has made it 1-0. Drops an overhead kick attempt was by Javi Poirot. It's Olivan into the middle. Garcia's looking for it! Goalkeeper to goalkeeper. The header from Juan Garcia. Saved by Alex Romero. Magic. After his introduction as a substitute. Takekubo's jink inside. Piledriver shot. Past Juan Garcia.
