Real Sociedad relied on their defense, but against an attack like Real's, it is very difficult to do. After the goal conceded, it was difficult to change strategy, although they had enough time, but they could not do anything, so Real gets an important victory. Ancelotti made a small rotation for this match, but this did not help Sociedad either, although they had several good attacks, Real's defense played this match perfectly.
Indeed, basically Real Sociedad has lost in everything so it is difficult for Real Sociedad to lose to Real Madrid even though Ancelotti has made some rotations but it does not have a big effect on Real Madrid's performance.
It must be admitted that Real Madrid's strength is much stronger and indeed there are no surprises that occur in this match and it is almost certain that Real Madrid can advance to the final round of the Copa Del Rey this season because the second leg later Real Madrid will play at home with an Agg advantage of 1 goal of course it will make it easier for them.
Real Sociedad is clearly no match for Real Madrid. Because it is clear that Real Madrid is a big team that always beats almost all its opponents in the league. So Sociedad is clearly no match for Real Madrid in any aspect. But even so, I personally am actually quite impressed with Sociedad's performance in this match. Because even though in this match Sociedad lost to Real Madrid. But Sociedad really put up quite a fight against Real Madrid. Maybe if Real Madrid's defensive players didn't play well in this match, I think Real Madrid could have lost this match.
So with this, I think that in the second leg, Real Madrid shouldn't be too confident that they can win easily. Because I'm sure that when Sociedad visits Real Madrid's headquarters they will definitely have a good strategy. So with this, I think Real Madrid should not underestimate Sociedad, even though basically the second leg match will be held at Real Madrid headquarters. Because Real Madrid is currently only 1 goal ahead of Sociedad. So of course Real Madrid must also be more careful against Sociedad in the upcoming second leg match. Because I personally think there will be unexpected surprises that might happen.
