Gonçalo Guedes shines for Real Sociedad v Barcelona after Benfica spell | OneFootball

Gonçalo Guedes took on the role of protagonist in the vibrant Real Sociedad - Barcelona match. The former Benfica player – who has been standing out in Spain – provided an assist and scored the goal that sealed the Basques' victory (2-1), in the match counting for the 20th round of the Spanish league. The San Sebastián team thus adds three more precious and well-deserved points, making the current table leader stumble.

In the 32nd minute, Gonçalo Guedes crossed to the far post, where Oyarzabal appeared to strike first time for the goal that made the difference at halftime. However, there was a highlight moment before the break, with a penalty awarded to Barcelona being overturned due to offside.

After Marcus Rashford equalized in the 70th minute, with an impressive assist from Yamal, Real Sociedad regained the lead on the scoreboard just 60 seconds later. The winger, developed at Benfica, went from provider to scorer, finishing off a cross from Carlos Soler into the back of the net.

With this result in Real Sociedad – Atlético Madrid, the Basque side now occupies 9th place in the standings, with 24 points. The team managed by Imanol Alguacil will return to the field on January 25th, with a home match against Celta de Vigo.
