The Real Sociedad conquers the Copa del Rey

The Cartuja received the final of the Glass of the King of the season 2019-2020, contested a year afterwards, between the Athletic of Bilbao and the Real Sociedad. The 'txuri-urdines' carried the title copero after winning to the 'lions' thanks to a goal of Mikel Oyarzabal from the eleven metres, after a fault of Íñigo Martínez.

In the first part the Real Sociedad assumed the initiative of the party, did with the balloon and dominated the meeting, but without occasions very clear. The ones of Imanol Bailiff, although they did not concretise approaches to the area defended by Unai Simón, were comfortable and did not suffer of more in The Cartuja. The defensive organisation turned into a key point for the ones of San Sebastián for noquear to the Athletic.

However, the clearest opportunity had it the Bilbao. Íñigo Martínez commanded a powerful shot with the right, but flew Remiro to take out a hand milagrosa and avoid that the 'lions' advanced in the marker. The true is that, although the Athletic tried to propose, remained without ideas in the last metres, with Raúl García very out of tone.

In the second part, the Real took strength and, without being determinants, concerned to the ones of Marcelino. The pressure of the 'txuri-urdines' had effect. In an approach to the area, Íñigo Martínez demolished to Portu and carried it to him by in front. It saw the red direct by the action, but the VAR determined that the action did not cost for expulsion and the Spanish defender remained with a yellow cardboard.

However, what himself there was was penal. Mikel Oyarzabal was the attendant to earn it and did not fail. It defined without problems in front of Unai Simón from the eleven metres and advanced to his team, giving him a new title to his vitrinas. After the goal, the Athletic collapsed without achieving recover of the so much of the rivals. This, of course, gave him more confidence to the ones of Bailiff, that finished the party dumped to the attack.

The Barça, attentive

The FC Barcelona and Athletic of Bilbao will confront in the final of the Glass of the King 2020-2021 the next 17 April, also in The Cartuja, and the blaugrana will have to take note to what posed Marcelino for the first final of Glass. To 'lions' was missing him consistency, rapidity and capacity of reaction after the so much of Oyarzabal.

The Barça, that arrives with positive dynamics, can take advantage of of the irregularity of the Athletic to achieve the longed for first title of the season, although it does few months was impossible to think that the blaugranas went to struggle for arriving to the highest.
