Barcelona cruise to easy Real Sociedad win - March 19, 2006
Barcelona cruised to a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad yesterday at the Aoneta.
The Catalan side stay on course for their dual objectives of domestic and Champions League titles as they swept aside Real with Henrik Larsson scoring his second goal in consecutive matches early on.
Samuel Eto'o wrapped up the points with a second half strike.
Coach Frank Rijkaard altered his team bringing in Mark van Bommel into midfield while retaining Larsson in attack after his goal last week, at the expense of Ludovic Giuly.
Larsson restored Rijkaard's faith after just eight minutes with a typical poacher's goal, in an open start to the game with chances at both ends.
Ronaldinho crossed from the left-wing to the far post where the Swede had lost his marker Mikel Labaka and he slotted past the keeper.
Real came out after the interval intent on fighting for their way back into the game but before long they had gone a further goal behind with Eto'o scoring with an opportunist goal.
Ronaldinho found Van Bommel, who one-on-one with the keeper hit the post, but the Cameroon international was on hand to slot home.
