Real Sociedad have missed out on a chance to boost their Champions League challenge after a low key 0-0 home La Liga draw with Cadiz. La Real was poised to benefit from a Friday night match because their competitors didn't play until the weekend, but they failed to play with consistency at the Estadio Anoeta. Neither player contributed much in the early going, with Carlos Fernandez's shot right before halftime going wide. About the hour mark, the home team felt they had a penalty, but VAR disallowed the claim, and the visitors pressed for a draw.
Due to a major injury to defender Fali of Cadiz, the match ended after 14 minutes of extra time, frustrating La Real. The Basque team's next match is a Europa League round of 16 first leg trip to AS Roma. The following weekend, Cadiz will visit Getafe in a league match.
