A local newspaper for Real Sociedad described Japanese national team midfielder Kubo Takefusa (24), who started against Mallorca, as “it was far from his best.”
R Sociedad faced Mallorca in the sixth round of the Spanish league held at home on the 24th, and they won 1-0 thanks to Oyalzabal's final goal. He scored his first three points of the season, stopping his losing streak by three, and stepped up to 16th place with 5 points, with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses in six games. Meanwhile, Mallorca, who had no role in Asano Takuma, has not yet won, yet, and is in a slump, 19th place in the relegation zone, with 2 draws and 4 losses in six games and slump.
Kubo, who started in two consecutive games, started the goal scored by Oyalzabal in the fourth minute of the second half. In the 24th minute, he aimed for the goal himself in the penalty area, but he was unable to make a good hit and was cleared by the defender, and in the 40th minute he took over from Gedes and left the pitch.
The club's local newspaper, Noticias de Guipscoe, commented on Kubo on the day, saying, “We were far from our best. We created a goal chance for Arumble, who had a failed header shot, and while we were involved in the score, he missed a decisive chance,” rating the team as the lowest five points (up to 10 points) on the team alongside Chaletta-Tsar and Bryce Mendes.
The newspaper selected Balenechair, who assisted the final goal, as the team MVP of the day, and received a high rating of 8 points. Oyalzabal was next with 7 points, followed by Remiro, Arumble, Sverdia, Sergio Gomez, Gorochategi and Carlos Soler. Substitutes Turientes, Ayen Munoz, Pablo Marin, Gedes and Satik were not scored.
After this, R Sociedad will face a tough away game against last season's Spanish league champion Barcelona in the 7th round to be held on the 28th. (Commerce worker Takahashi Tomoyuki)
