Real Murcia 2-0 Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad lost in very cruel fashion as they lost two goals in the final minutes of the game after goals from Mejia (87) and Sikora (90)! Both teams went down to ten men on 78 minutes as Labaka was sent off for Real Sociedad and Ochoa was red carded for Murcia.

The first half started with both teams looking hungry for a win and Murcia were first to threaten when Capdevila swung in a perfect cross frome the byeline which Despotovic narrowly missed when he probably should have done better. Shortly after Xabi Prieto nearly scored directly from a free-kick but his cross came back of the cross-bar. Necati had a great chance when put through on the keeper but his control let him down - clearly a striker lacking in confidence. Despotovic was then denied by Bravo after great play with Capdevila. With the first half coming to an end Aranburu crashed an effort onto the crossbar.

The second half was a different affair with untidy mistakes creeping into play from both teams and it was the very impressive Serbian striker Despotovic who had the first real chance of the second half in the 67th minute when he robbed a defender before crashing in a shot that Bravo did brilliantly to save from close range. Labaka was then dismissed on 79 minutes for a second yellow card then barely a minute had passed before Ochoa was sent off for his second yellow of the game. When it looked like the game was going to end in a goaless draw Murcia scored out of the blue. The ball was cut back to Mejia who fired the ball passed a helpless Bravo. To rub salt in the wounds Murcia pounced again in the dying seconds when they hit Real Sociedad on the counter attack and the ball was swung into the Polish striker Sikora who controlled the ball on his chest and tucked the ball passed Bravo. With the team now down to 8th in the league the next game at home to Hercules is a must win game now if they are to stay in the hunt for promotion.
