Real Sociedad 0 - 0 Eibar

Round 11 of matches took place at the weekend and Real Sociedad were at home to local rivals Eibar. Most people were expecting a home victory however the hosts were frustrated by the visitors dogged defending and ultimately had to accept 1 point instead of 3 to see them move up to 10th in the league.

The disappointment was overshadowed however by the news that star striker Iñigo Díaz de Cerio who has scored 4 goals so far this season, broke his leg during the match in the 60th minute. This is a massive blow for the clubs promotion ambition and with a lack of strikers already at the club, it means even more responsibility on the shoulders of Turkish loan signing Necati Ates who is close to match fitness. In the wake of the news about Iñigo Díaz de Cerio's injury Ates announced to the press "I am prepared". He went on to say that although he felt responsibility before, he is conscious now their is now more responsiblity to score the goals.

With Iñigo Díaz de Cerio's contract up next summer the Real Sociedad board have announced that they feel he is an indispensable player for Real Sociedad due to his human and soccer values and have assured fans of the club they have offered him a new contract to keep him beyond next summer.
