Japanese national team midfielder Kubo Takefusa (24), who plays for Real Sociedad, scored his first goal of the season in the opening match against Valencia on the run.

Kubo, who has now reached his fourth season with R-Sociedad, started on the right side of his regular position. In the 15th minute of the second half, with the score at 0-1, he received a pass from an ally in front of the goal, and with one touch he shifted the opponent, swinging his left foot and sinking a powerful mid-range shot.

With a glaring blow, he cleared his frustration. Since the start of the game, they were unable to attract the ball as they wanted and were unable to get involved in the score.

With the first half at 0-0, they were able to get into the ball aggressively in the second half. In the second minute, he dribbled into the left side and scored a free kick in front of the penalty area. Although he was out of the box, he showed his desire to score, playing as a kicker with strong will.

They allowed the first goal in the 12th minute, and amid a disgusting atmosphere, they managed to capture the team's first chance of the season. The opening man, who was also scored in the first round in 2012 and 2013, marked a spectacular opening of the World Cup year.
