Salzburg vs Real Sociedad – Europa League

RB Salzburg’s bet on European competition has been unmistakable

Although the difference of rhythms and competition between the Austrian League and the reality of the teams of competing countries always left the group supported by Red Bull a little behind in the balance.

Once again, it is in the Europa League that the Austrian team manages to have some relief and, after overcoming a group stage where they had to face teams from France, Portugal and Turkey, all of them with more demanding championships, the draw dictated him a confrontation with a Spanish team, raising the bar of exigency.

The first-leg match at San Sebastian could not have gone better for Marco Rose’s men.

The team benefited from an own goal from Oyarzabal, saw Odriozola and Januzaj give back to the marker and it was already in time of discounts that Japanese Minamino decreed a tie that leaves everything open for the second leg.
RB Salzburg’s side are playing at home and to the advantage on the undercard, something that should take into account against an opponent as strong as Real Sociedad.

The fact that he had an easy start at the weekend, against St.Polten (won 4-0), makes the team even safer.

There should be no lack of security for Real Sociedad who, falling to the second half of the league table, looking for a reason in the Europa League to smile.
