In Sunday's (8) La Liga match, Real Sociedad defeated América 2-0, thanks to a second-half goal from David Silva and a second-half goal from Aleksandr Solov. It was David Silva's 37th birthday, making him the oldest goal scorer in La Liga history.
In this match, Real Sociedad dominated the game, with Japanese international Kenshiro Kubo repeatedly posing a threat but failing to register a goal in the first half. However, just two minutes into the match, Real Sociedad tore through the opponent's defense, with David Silva sending the ball into the net from a narrow shooting angle. Initially, the referee signaled offside, but after VAR replay, the referee ruled that the goal was valid, and David Silva finally scored in this season's La Liga, which became the Spanish veteran's best birthday present.
Immediately after, just five minutes later, striker Aleksandr Solov broke through with a powerful shot to seal a 2-0 win for Real Sociedad. The win makes it three wins in a row for Real Sociedad in the tournament, leaving them in third place for the time being, nine points adrift of table-topping Barcelona, and in an unenviable position.
