Real Sociedad Vs Sevilla 0-0: Los Txuri-Urdin's Ambition To Occupy The Top Of The Standings For Several Hours Stumbled
JAKARTA - Sevilla thwarted Real Sociedad's ambition to climb to the top of the Spanish League standings after holding a goalless draw in a trip to the Reale Arena Stadium, San Sebastian, last Sunday night.
The result made Sociedad waste the opportunity to climb to the top of the standings and stuck in fourth place with a collection of 10 points. When this match ended, Valencia and Real Madrid had not yet played.
Meanwhile, Sevilla also did not move from the sixth place in the standings with eight points, according to Antara records, launching the official website of the Spanish League.
The visitors threatened first through Erik Lamela's shot that was still thin over the crossbar in the eighth minute, then Sociedad responded with Mikel Merino's shot which was still blocked by the Sevilla defense.

Sociedad's best chance to take the lead came in the 26th minute after Diego Carlos was charged with a handball foul in the box, but executioner Mikel Oyarzabal found his penalty readable by goalkeeper Bono.
Sociedad had to lose their main striker, Alexander Isak, due to injury in the 39th minute and Adnan Januzaj, who came on as a substitute, had a chance but his attempt still failed to find the net.
The second half of the match was still tight as Oyarzabal's effort was blocked by Sevilla's players, while Lucas Ocampos's header met Jesus Navas' cross which was still off the mark.
A number of substitutions made by both teams were unable to change the 0-0 position which remained on the scoreboard until it was dispersed.
