saying hello to the staff and they all looked as if they were like, well, do do we have to be here? But they face a rival where don't know if you agree with me, I I think this is and I think the American New Jersey born coach looks at this as a big opportunity. >> Well, they face a rival currently just one place above them in the table with the same number of points both Depo and Ralid with 10 points from the first seven games. Um the incentive is there because if there's a winner this afternoon then they will uh catapult themselves into the top six because of Alves slipping up against uh Atletico Madrid. Um if Real Softad do pick up the three points they'll have to do it without Oy Fab from the start. Um one of Spain's finest five goals was it of the World Cup Graeme top scorer for the world for the world champions. um so and a work rate that helps dictate why he's not here. He came to the rescue for Spain again in this Nations League group where their position looks great but they had to work super hard and it's the outlay of physical effort that he's used that has kept him on the bench today. >> Well, here is the 11 that starts for Real Siad. Ramire in goal. The uh the name that sticks out is Pablo Marin. First minutes of the season Roman starts in goal. Chima Navaro Bright the Edi Kimenez and Qualiata across the back a newly promoted team um they spent more money in the summer than most newly promoted teams um and so far what we're seeing on the pitch it's they've made some good decisions in the market no more so than Aubameyang we're underway there kicking from right to left as we look >> great sunshine at the moment it's a it's been a gray day in San Sebastian you wouldn't be shocked If you saw rain, >> I don't want to overplay the Sar thing, but that patrolling waiting and then nonchulently just digging in, taking the ball off me like a candy from a baby. It's van Dykeesque. >> Well, they've struggled since the departure of Leno Man a you remember you will remember from a couple of seasons ago already mentioned Chletcha from last season that looked like hand ball. Maybe not. Zakarian with the cross shot palmed away to the edge of the area. >> A bit soft in terms of the hurly barley of games. Well, Yerei's effort pushed away by Ramiro. >> Well, Edachari is the would have been the other option, but he's also out. Nice ball played forward by Zakarian. Baron gets the shot away and they want the corner, but the match officials say goal kick. Tonight's nutmeg. Typical of Bernach just to get an edge enough to get a shot in. First time around I didn't see it being a corner. Goes again wings that back for Getish. Well, surely um that's offside, but the flag for the moment stays down. The cross is a good one. And that was another occasion when it could easily have been turned in by the defender. Chim Navara put it wide. The flag is up anyway and Kimenez is complaining to the >> Your impression immediately confirmed by the linesman. But I think that Gimenez is doing that for show because all of the players get briefed at the beginning of the season. And while that's an evident one, the lines when the assistant referees better said now are told over and over again, don't flag too early. Let the play mature and then if there's something to sort out at very worst, we'll do it via V. So the assistant did well there or did the right thing at least we can say as did Zakarian. Yeah, it's been not too bad a start for uh from Zakarian in these first 28 minutes. >> Here's Siano Luis dispossessed by Mammu Mammadus out to Barame Nea. Zakarian has made a run but in the middle it's Gish arriving and the header clear and it needed to be. >> That's the best play yet. Robbed robbed really well. robbed aggressively immediately vertical which Lar haven't been throughout this game the ball wide the ball in all of them really good play a little wonder the stadium showing its pleasure as it was with the headed clearance so takes the corner short gets it back from the inswing cross IS A GOOD ONE AND THE HEADER FROM JOHN MARTIN INTO THE BACK OF THE NET and real have the lead so simple so effective if you unleash quality if you make the make decisions and do the right thing with the ball. Ben Banki will follow. The best move of the game led to the corner. The corner was taken and one thing that's absolutely clear is Idalgo will be furious with his team. They work a system at corners of manto man and zono with John Marine would be even with Mama Dusar in the team the number one guy that the video analysis will have said this guy is a lost to Rome. Yangalera just runs beyond Zakari but he gets his foot around it. Headed away by Kata. Yangalera. Yangalerrera goes for glory. Tries to take the roof off the frame of the goal. Um and misses the target. See their team in a European place. So plays the ball forward to get it. She waited for it. Jim Navaro didn't. But Serio Gomez pings it forward for Gettish to take again. Jimenez slid in there and uh I think the flag is up anyway. So free kick to uh Depo. Bright Eddie and Qualiata both stood looking as John Martin headed that unmarked into the back of the net. Sergio Gomes into Yangler So one of the top for Barona to chase. He's let it bounce. He rolls it back towards Suchic. Such keeps hold of it in the area. Angler shot is blocked. IT COMES OUT TO ZAKARIAN AND HE SCORES. Quick look across to see if the flag have been raised. No flag. And Zakarian celebrates. Well, we spoke about how big an opportunity this is for him this afternoon. And he's grabbing it with first goal leaving Chumovaro looking a little bit lost. And then that speed of reaction. There's a lot of harassing, a lot of harrying for the ball that Laral do well. And the Russian finds it easy to slot that home off his stronger foot, the left. >> It's hit well, isn't it? >> And it comes. It's too close to Romero. Decides to punch it though. >> Oh my. Back in it goes from Luis Mi and the header tipped over the top by Romero. Well, there's that late late chance >> that or punched it as badly as he did. The possibility of this drifting in for an own goal avoided by a really good really sharp save. >> Two minutes have been added on. We played one of those. Luis me with the delivery. Drops in the area. Barona can clear. He's almost robbed by Billinsongo. He does get it away. Here's our lovely first touch. Stand real sautad sit pretty in sixth place with this win if they can finish the job across the next 45 minutes. Siano Luis Smith dispossessed by Solair. Getish forward to Zakarian. Cleared by Jimenez. And a big clearance too because finally Lariel having robbed the ball midway through their own half got bodies up and it was 3v3. It's really clear said to Laaruna we we flood the upper areas of the pitch. We look for space between we commit. We risk at the back and Laral have have dug in rather than saying we'll play high up the pitch and try and catch you on the break. That break possibility, transitions as they all call it now, really does exist for Lariel if they manage the ball properly, having robbed Deportiva Lakarinhu, who are very committed to try and get an early equalizer. Well, with that in mind, Mikuel Yaba looks like he's about to come on. Sana Luis me. He's done well there to pick out Ricky. Ricky's got lots of space. Can he pick the right pass? Yay. Yami in the end doesn't make the most of that. Well, he means the corner, but it maybe should have been on target from Deportivo. >> The pass um to pick out the substitute was absolutely lovely and it's the type of risk they have to take if they're going to break into this game. But when Ricky was in such space, where was Soler? Where was Yankee Herrera really exposed in their positional awareness at a time when we were pointing out that Lakaruna have deliberately gone to get within the lines and put extra bodies up front and it comes from Luis Mi headed away by Zikarian back out to Luis Mi Yermay Siano Luis Mi up against Barona skips past Barona. Is he going to bundle him over in the penalty area? Well, it looked like it, but the referee had the perfect view and real on the attack. That's a lovely pass. It's a lovely piece of control. He's got such through the middle. If he needs him, Gettish, HE DOESN'T NEED HIM. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. WHAT A WAY TO OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT FOR this season. GETS HIS FIRST OF THE CAMPAIGN. It's Real Sidan 3 Deportivo nil. >> Standout goal. Stand up and take the praise goal. The penalty box decision will be debated, but I think it's right. Referees are told over and over again. No light fouls. Let there be physical contact in other areas of the pitch. I don't think that's given us a foul >> in their fifth home game of the season across league and Europe. Adama Adama with the cross. It's a good one and headed tipped over the top after a fine header from Binsongo. Well, Romero tipped one over in the first half. That was even better. Get back on the team bus just yet. >> Doesn't matter who your center forward is, whether it's the experienced Aubameyang or the the younger less. >> Siano will take the corner. Menace rise as it went past him. Barona half cleared and the shot over from Chima Navaro. Goal kick. It's a lovely ball clipped really well. You can see the space that is over the last defender and the space in behind. But the take means that he's completely in control of what he wants to do. He's got no idea about cutting inside. He's absolutely sure he can find that far panel of the net. Anybody who's studied the tapes of Get knows that's what his specialty is. >> Lower man helpless. >> Seven touches, Graeme. >> Um the first one exquisite. No, from Gettish. Here's Suchic. Such again. Can he get the shot away? Lovely ball into a Yabo point. Saved at point black. He's turned it in. He looks across. Is the flag up. It is. >> Had to be off by a distance, but this is the the >> This is certainly the most fun I've had watching La Real since March. Now, that's a long chunk of games. I don't think we've seen >> I think you're right. These f looking as if they absolutely believe in their ability to push the karuna around. >> Adama and Sao waits for the cross. SIANO HITS IT WELL ENOUGH. HE HITS IT VERY WELL and Depo Jivo Akaruna have a goal back. Brilliant from Mario Sana from the edge of the box. He got a few goals last season in their promotion campaign. And that's his first in the top flight and it makes it real sinad three depo one. >> Couple of backpart actors in that move. It's the second time that Triayori's made a difference down the right. I reco what I said at hal time he should have been on. It was really clear that he should have been on. >> 25 minutes left as well. Plenty of football left in this game. Plenty of time for Deportiva to get another one back. And it might come here. And a songo goes down. And the referee points the spot and a red card comes out and suddenly now Deportivo >> not involve a challenge for the ball. It is still a guaranteed red. It's not a double jump. >> Jeremiah Arnandez against Alex Ramro and he scores. It was an elaborate run up but he buried it past Romero. It's 3-2. It's 11 against 10. It's game on. Anuetta. This didn't look feasible when it went to 3-0 when the exuberance was overtaking the entire stadium. Lar playing as well as they played for a good six months. There's an assistant for Matarazzo sitting on the bench with the glomous face I've seen in Spanish football for a very long time. Romero, I don't think you can compliment him by saying that spaghetti legs, but he tries to put the taker off. >> Such he does well there. Such as he won the foul as well. No, he hasn't. The referee points to the ball. Play on. Here's Sriano into Yerei. An off the ball incident. Another moment being ignored as Yeremai gets his shot away. Bit of sympathy for Suchic there. He was he was street ganged out of the ball and then the referee pointed at the end. There's your incident. Yanha not a surprised candidate to be involved in that. The referee said, "Well, at the end the ball's won cleanly." Well, in a few seconds before that, ref. I'm not quite so sure that Suchic was treated fairly. >> Yeah. And there's a little bit of Sich's frustration >> and he gives away the free kick. >> Don't annoy a Croaten is coming on. Lovely ball in behind. A little bit too much on it in the end for Adama Trior. >> It's the right idea in every way. Adama showed the ball was released immediately. He showed yeah there was too much meat on it but split the defense nicely. Adama was going to be in a brilliant position. >> Well, there's trouble here again. It's Banongo. Yay. YEDI WITH A SHOT. SAVED by Ramiro. Out for a corner. He's coming into his own. Yami pulled back. Now it's in the area that Ramiro should save. I'll absolutely give you that. But he is he's raised his level a little bit from the early parts of the game. >> Dos. >> Yeah. All the intensity that he wants from a team, he demonstrates it in the technical area and often outside the technical area. Aspensen is on. Qualiata is off from a Bayern kid who was at on out on loan at grasshoppers last season and uh was delivered in terms of goals and assists. They need a goal here. Deportivo. The corner comes in and but heads it wide. Still at Amatriori poked in towards Aatuchi. Such will clear for Real Soft. There's a break on here. It's Arya Fab. Lots of international football in his legs. Has he got the power, the energy, and the finish? Ye. No. >> Well, he did everything apart from the final touch. He skews it wide. >> People like us, what he'll give you in terms of information. He doesn't win many sprints like that. That tells you a little bit about his Uruguayan opponent. >> And well, it was La Roman block that's led to this corner. >> And he comes headed clear. helped on by Jensen back into the danger area. It runs to Suchic who gets under it. Leman sprints to the loose ball behind the Matrior up against Serio Gomes. >> Can he get the crossing? Crossing. Ochen is there as well. He rolls it back to Altimir. Altimir's cross is deflected. An almost turn pass Ramire by Ricky. Mama did not know that the It's just as well for the Frenchman that Ramiro was alert to it. He had no idea s that he was there mirror out to make his body big. >> Just over 3 minutes left of normal time as the corner comes in. The referee's whistle blows for a foul and some more rest bite for real sautad if wants a card for the infringement against Yanera. And was it Jimenez again? It was >> definitely no need for a card. Yanell steps into his way. The Uruguan being a Uruguan doesn't step off. It's a 5050 blame there between the Venezuelan and the Uruguan. I I don't know what do I think they're trying to gesture there. >> Four people going get off, get off. >> Ectif comes on. Pay finally does get off >> about Depun looking like a little bit of a second division team. That hasn't been the case for the last 40 minutes. >> Down goes Oya Fabo. What's the referee say here? He wasn't too close to it. He pulls out the red card. >> Yeah. >> So >> the opportunity for Aatuchi to make a mistake. >> I think the principle >> pass away. He has managed to find Mario Siano up towards Banseno. He hits it but it's blocked by Mammadus. Comes out to Oyabo. Such and Oena are ahead of him. The wise old man of Real Softad just takes his time and then picks out the right pass to Gomez. And now he's in the corner and we've played the six added minutes. Still Gomes Soliano trying not to concede the throw and he's managed it. Alimro forward it goes. One for Jensen to chase. Ramire makes the clearance. Practically everyone inside urging Miguel Sesman to blow his final whistle. >> Yeah, this is Jac M football. Punch, counter punch, drama, blood and gristle. >> Another clash there and again it's gone real soft gone Deportivo's way. So there is one more opportunity surely no more than that for them to put the ball into the real safid penalty area. >> Arms of Kimbo the Lar bench waving it's all over the depoor bench waving. put it forward. >> John Martin heads it away and the referee blows the final whistle. And Rio Softad have the three points. They do move. Say,
