After a scoreless first half in which Cristiano Ronaldo’s header was disallowed for offside, Real Sociedad took the lead in the 58th minute when Brais Mendez converted from the penalty spot after Lisandro Martinez was called for a handball in the box.

United made adjustments in an effort to salvage their recent four-match winning streak, but they were unable to muster a comeback.

Sadiq Umar of Nigeria started the game and made some strong runs both on and off the ball. In the 36th minute, he almost scored but had his shot blocked.

Prior to being replaced by Alexander Srlothat at halftime, Umar had a pass completion rate of 70%.

Prior to the game’s kickoff, there was a moment of silence to honour Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 96.

Real Sociedad lead the log with three points with Man United in third position as FC Sheriff defeated Omonia in the other game to be tied on point with Sociedad.
