With the League leader's cockade on their chest,

Real Sociedad

traveled to Croatia in the hope of a placid debut in the Europa League.

However, it took a world for the San Sebastian side, Spain's top scorer, to overcome Rijeka's iron defense, against a field in which, it was supposed, a 30% capacity was authorized, which seemed much more.

Imanol Alguacil's men

had to wait

until minute 93 for

Jon Bautista to

score the goal that gave him the three points.

The youth squad scored a goal that he needed to fuel his confidence.

He is back in the Donostia first team after a season on loan in Belgian football that did not help him to explode, scoring only three goals in 26 games.

He starts this season as third forward behind

Isak

and

Willian José

and this Thursday Alguacil recruited him to solve the ballot, something that Bautista did taking advantage of a pass from the death of

Mikel Merino

.

With all their headlines on the field, the Real always dominated the duel, enjoying two more occasions that crashed into the wood, but it took them too much to transform their numerous approaches to the area of ​​the Croats into clear shots.

Rijeka also had their options on the counterattack, especially during the first half, but

Remro

was very successful the few times he had to intervene.

The defeat of Napoli, which Anoeta visits next week, against AZ Alkmaar in San Paolo reinforced the importance of the victory achieved yesterday by Real Sociedad on their trip to Croatia.

For the game next Thursday, the Royal trusts that there may be an audience in their field, but the evolution of the pandemic in Guipúzcoa does not exactly invite optimism.

El

Granada

, meanwhile, was released in the Europa League winning in one of the classic fields of the continent, the Philips Stadion.

The

PSV

took the

lead before the break with a goal from

Götze

, shortly after the referee annulled one of

Yangel Herrera

.

Those of

Diego Martinez

reacted after the break, completely dominating his opponent and going up

thanks to goals from

Jorge Molina

and

machis

.
