Real Sociedad II clinched a hard-fought 2-1 victory over FC Andorra at the Estadi de la FAF in the Segunda División. The away side struck early with a 10th-minute goal from Gorka Gorosabel, assisted by Iker Aguirre, setting the tone for a tightly contested match. Andorra responded swiftly, leveling the score in the 16th minute through G. Jastin, assisted by Alvaro, to keep the contest alive.
Andorra's Possession vs. Sociedad's Efficiency
Despite holding an impressive 73% possession, Andorra struggled to convert their dominance into goals, managing only three shots on target from their 14 total attempts. On the other hand, Real Sociedad II showed efficiency, scoring twice from just two shots on target. Sociedad's disciplined defense, combined with critical saves, thwarted numerous Andorra attempts, maintaining their lead after Gorka Carrera's decisive 76th-minute goal, set up by Andrews Adjabeng.
Physical Contest and Tactical Adjustments
The match saw a flurry of yellow cards, with Sociedad collecting five and Andorra four, reflecting the intense physicality. Tactical shifts were evident as both teams made multiple substitutions, attempting to tip the balance. Sociedad's adjustments, including the introduction of substitutes like L. Astiazaran and A. Marchal, proved effective in withstanding Andorra's late pressure.
Mixed Fortunes in Recent Form
FC Andorra's recent form has been mixed, with draws against Huesca and Cultural Leonesa highlighting missed opportunities. Their inability to capitalize on possession against Sociedad reflects a recurring theme. Real Sociedad II, meanwhile, continues an upward trend with this win, building on a solid performance against Leganes. Next, Andorra will aim to refine their attack, while Sociedad looks to maintain their momentum.
