Leganés got a very important point in Reale Arena. Mikel Merino scored the first one for the local team in the 62 'and En-Nesyri tied in the 77' with a header.
Leganés was compact and tidy at the very begining, with the lines together and controlling the spaces, Real Sociedad was looking for the counter attck.
Cuellar had several interventions to avoid the local goal, and one of them arrived in the 13th minute, covering a shot by Willian José in the small penalty box. The game continued with Leganes' strong defense. In 34 ’a cross to the area was topped by Braithwaite and the ball bounced in Llorente avoiding pepinero's firts goal. In a very tied first half, that were the chances Leganes' had.
Already in the second half, the rain was diminishing the grass and the game was increasingly locked. Leganés hit first, with Kevin Rodrigues' shot that cross near the post. Januzaj replied with a strong shot from the front that Cuéllar cleared up.
It seemed that any team could have scored the first goal,but finally were the locals. A corner kick was topped by Merino in the first suit to advance Real Sociedad in 62 ’
Leganés did not give up,En-Nesyri, who came form the bench at beginning of the second half and Guido Carrillo in the field along with Braithwaite, Aguirre was more then ever looking for the goal, In 77 ’a cross from the right of Roque Mesa was topped off by En-Nesyri and Remiro could do nothing to avoid the draw.
Both teams wanted more than a draw , in a tough game with a lack of tactial planning. The result was the second Kevin Rodrigues' yellow card in the extra time. A six-minute extra time that ended without goals. A draw to add a point in Javier Aguirre's first game and increase the positive mood after two defeats.
