On April 27, Beijing time, La Liga and U23 Asian Cup played a number of key matchups, Real Madrid Real Sociedad reached 27 rounds unbeaten in the 33rd round of La Liga, and Iraq and Uzbekistan joined hands in the semifinals of the U23 Asian Cup to advance to the semifinals, and will compete with Japan and Indonesia respectively for Olympic tickets.
Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid
Real Sociedad took the initiative to start the game, frequently attacking the heart of Real Madrid, and Hisashi Yingran's empty shot into the far corner from the right side of the penalty area was blocked out of bounds by Kepa with his body. Oya Pavar broke through the box in the middle and fell to the ground, which was ignored by the referee, and Turientes crossed Militão's heavy shot just over the crossbar. Carlo Ancelotti's well-orchestrated counter-attacking strategy allowed Real Madrid to hold their ground in the opening stages, and after withstanding the opponent's three-board axe, the La Liga giants continued to put pressure on the Real Sociedad defence through a compact midfield defense and efficient and quick counter-attacks. In the 28th minute, Tchouameni stole a long pass from the back and sent the ball into the right side of the third zone, Carvajal's accurate cross penetrated the Real Sociedad defense, and Güller pushed into the net at the back point to break the deadlock, and Real Madrid scored another signature counter-attack goal.
Just three minutes later, Real Sociedad responded immediately, with Kenei Kubo scoring with a perfect pass in the penalty area, and the referee watched the video and ruled that Barrenechea had fouled him, and the beautiful goal was fished. Real Sociedad suffered a goal and the attacking tempo slowed down in the second half of the half. Real Madrid were also in no hurry to attack, patiently maneuvering with the opposition to exhaust half-time.
Real Sociedad went into the second half to start the game with Turientes and Hisashi Kusai twice saved by Kepa. Real Madrid were more determined to execute defensive counter-attacking tactics, with a stronger defensive posture and precise interceptions, to contain Real Sociedad's counterattack. The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, and fouls continued. In the 73rd minute, Oyarzabal received a straight plug from the middle and scored with a single push, but it was ruled offside. Despite the hosts' efforts in the closing stages, they were unable to find a good chance to equalise in the face of Real Madrid's solid defence. The final score was fixed at 1-0, and Real Madrid took away three precious points from the away side, won three consecutive La Liga wins and 27 games unbeaten, 14 points ahead of Barcelona with a game in hand, and five more points to seal the title.

Iraq VS Vietnam
In the opening stages, Iraq played steadily with a more steady style of possession, taking advantage of the opposition's pressing opportunities in front of the court to carry out quick counter-attacks through long balls. Vietnam's high-pressure tactics once worked, but they couldn't fight the opponent's physical advantage, and the physical consumption was large, so it turned to a relatively conservative anti-counter tactic. Although the quality of Iraq's passing needs to be improved, the frequent impact of long balls has put pressure on the Vietnamese defence, and Mohammed and Niyad have missed great scoring opportunities one after another. Iraq continued to dominate the attacking tempo in the second half, with Jassim making several clever passes and good shots of his own. Vietnam was suppressed and beaten, and the pressure on the defensive line doubled, but there was no better way to crack it. Midway through the half, Iraq's attacking attack from the right flank sent the ball into the box in succession, Niad was dragged down by the goalkeeper to win a penalty, and Jassim calmly scored to break the deadlock. In the final stage, Vietnam's all-out counteroffensive was fruitless, but was frequently in danger by Iraq, Nguyen Van Hung deliberately stepped on the foul and was expelled with a red card, and the ten-man Vietnam was unable to return to the sky, and Iraq won 1-0 and advanced to the semifinals.
Uzbekistan vs Saudi Arabia
The overall strength of the two teams is equal, and they enter a state of fighting for defense as soon as they come up. Saudi Arabia's defense is stronger, and many fierce scrambles soon received yellow cards, and Uzbekistan has more advantages in head-to-head confrontation with Saudi players with excellent physical condition, and the situation on the field is more favorable to Uzbekistan. In the first half, both sides were slightly conservative, and they were afraid of attacking too far forward and causing the rear air defense to be weak. Before the end of the half, the two sides accelerated their attack and defense, and the two teams sent threatening shots in succession, Uzbekistan's high-pressure pressing in stoppage time caused a mistake in the Saudi backfield, and Norchaev received a wonderful pass from Faizulaev to assist in the one-on-one lead. In the second half, although Saudi Arabia stepped up its attack, it was difficult to break through the opponent's defensive line and threaten to shoot. The Saudis' lack of strength was revealed, and several long-range attempts had little effect. Stamina and fouls increased made matters worse for Saudi Arabia, with Yahya accumulating two yellow cards and being sent off. Uzbekistan, who had the advantage in numbers, stepped up their attack, and Rahmunaliye seized the opportunity to seal the victory with a follow-up shot, and finally eliminated Saudi Arabia 2-0.
