Gonçalo Guedes was the standout player in Real Sociedad's home victory against Osasuna (3-1) in a clash between Basque teams. The home side was always more dangerous and only failed to score in the 21st minute because Oyarzabal missed a shocking chance right in front of the goal. The Spanish international redeemed himself three minutes later, thanks to a play set up by Gonçalo Guedes. The Portuguese winger made a run down the left flank and delivered a cross that hit Boyomo's arm. Oyarzabal confidently converted the penalty to open the scoring. Guedes was on fire and, in the 28th minute, doubled Real's lead. The Portuguese winger cut in from the left to the center before placing a shot into the net for 2-0. The Portuguese show in San Sebastián continued in the 52nd minute. Turrientes cushioned the ball, and Guedes unleashed a true missile that found the back of the Osasuna net. The former Benfica player now has nine goals and eight assists in 33 matches for Real. Guedes has strengthened his case for a potential call-up from Roberto Martínez for the friendlies the National Team will play against Mexico and the United States on March 28 and 31, respectively. Guedes left the field in the 63rd minute and watched from the bench as Osasuna scored, with Victor Munoz finding the net in the 77th minute. Real Sociedad currently sits in seventh place in the table with 38 points, while Osasuna is in 11th place with 34 points.
