No need to change your seat, but Manchester United have conceded a goal against Real Sociedad for the first time ever.
The first-half was lacking in quality, with neither side creating much in the way of chances, aside from Ronaldo’s headed goal, which was ruled out for offside. The hosts have been frustrated by Sociedad’s packed midfield and organized defense, but the Red Devils realized that they need to add more speed and creativity to their attacks if they’re to find an opener at Old Trafford.
Real Sociedad won thanks to a Mendez penalty in the 59th minute, which was a bad start for Erik Ten Hag’s debut European campaign at Old Trafford. After a disjointed first half, United sporadically regained their feet in the second and frequently tested Remiro, but a handball by Martinez during one of Sociedad’s limited attempts gave the guests the ideal opportunity to win. They took a chance by holding out for a 1-0 victory despite the home club making a flurry of aggressive substitutions.
