Tsygankov Orchestrates Shock Comeback: Girona Steals Victory at Reale Arena
Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 58/100. A six-pointer where balance swung three times in 49 minutes, but it was Girona's clinical finishing in the final quarter that transformed a relegation-form side into champions of the evening.
The Upset No One Predicted
Arriving at Reale Arena with a 35% probability gap against them, Girona were in freefall: 18th place, 12 points from 15 matches, a defence haemorrhaging 29 goals. Real Sociedad, sitting 14th but with clearer momentum, appeared to have the script written. Then minute 35: Gonçalo Guedes opened the scoring with a Zubeldia assist, and the narrative seemed settled. Balance would be restored—or so it seemed.
Tsygankov Takes Centre Stage
The 76th minute changed everything. Viktor Tsygankov equalised with clinical precision, his first of two strikes that would define the evening. Four minutes later—84th minute—he completed his brace with Álex Moreno's assist, sealing a comeback that defied the pre-match odds. Three lead changes in 49 minutes. The turning point was unmistakable: Tsygankov (8.2 rating) executed ruthlessly when it mattered most, whilst Takefusa Kubo (7.7) fought tirelessly for Real Sociedad but couldn't stem the tide.
The Data Beneath the Drama
Girona controlled possession (53%) and unleashed 14 shots, though only three found the target. Real Sociedad, sharper in the box (4 of 8), lacked the finishing touch. An xG of 1.43 for the visitors against 0.88 for the hosts underscored Girona's tactical dominance in the second half. This wasn't a robbery—it was a masterclass in intensity when the stakes were highest.
Key Questions
How did Tsygankov complete the comeback from behind?
Tsygankov struck in the 76th (assisted by Ounahi) and 84th (assisted by Moreno), exploiting gaps in Real's backline with lethal precision.
Was this a genuine upset by the numbers?
Absolutely. A 35% probability gap meant Girona (18th) winning at Reale Arena was a genuine shock against pre-match expectations.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Sociedad vs Girona: Two Realities Collide in a Match Lacking Fire
Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 49/100. This clash between a mid-table side breathing easy and a team drowning in the relegation zone should crackle with tension—instead, it's a mismatch that fails to ignite genuine intrigue.
The Setup
Real Sociedad stumbles through an inconsistent run (LWDWW) that leaves them tenth with 16 points, safe but unconvincing. Girona, meanwhile, drowns in the basement: 18th with just 12 points from 14 games, losses piling up like a countdown to the drop. The Form is fragile on both sides—Sociedad concedes 1.6 per game, Girona 2.0—but the Stars shine brightest in white and blue.
Key Battle
Mikel Oyarzabal versus Girona's backline. The winger carries three goals and two assists across four matches—a streak that makes him the most dangerous weapon on the pitch. Cristhian Stuani answers from Girona's point, but his three goals in four games offer no defensive shield. Oyarzabal wins this duel convincingly.
Our Prediction
Sociedad controls from kickoff. Girona retreats, hunting for a theft. Oyarzabal and Ander Barrenetxea find space on the flanks, and the hosts break through in the 28th minute. A second arrives in the 67th as Girona's shape crumbles. Stuani pulls one back in the 82nd, but it's window dressing. Real Sociedad 2-1 Girona.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Only if Oyarzabal's brilliance appeals to you. Otherwise, better options exist elsewhere on the slate.
What's the predicted outcome?
Real Sociedad 2-1 Girona. Hosts dominate; visitors snatch a consolation goal.
Where are Real Sociedad and Girona in the league table?
Sociedad tenth with 16 points. Girona 18th with 12 points—in the relegation zone.
What is Real Sociedad's current form?
LWDWW: patchy but buoyed by two recent wins that breed confidence.
Who is the in-form player to watch?
Mikel Oyarzabal: 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 matches, averaging 7.5 rating. Lethal.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
