Real Sociedad left Mallorca alive in a match where they dominated the second half after the first and evened the match. The fierce vermilion defense was surpassed only by the inspiration of Barrenetxeathe best, but the Real (or Sadiq) is not inspired in front of goal.
1
Remiro
helpful
Beyond a moment of local surge with a few counters and lateral crosses, he didn’t have much to do. He was willing to help and looked for longer balls than usual, especially at the start.
2
Traore
growing up
He must have had jet lag from his stay at the Africa Cup because it started with two inaccurate long reviews, but it grew as the minutes ticked by. Not too demanding because it doesn’t have an extreme in the front. It’s great to have you back.
3
Zubeldia
Pure
Mallorca’s attackers tried to find him more, without success. Abdón escapes a lateral cross, but it’s the first and last time. He saw the yellow card for cutting the counter from Larin, whose wrist he accidentally stepped on. Safe on ball release.
4
Le Normand
Insurmountable
Immeasurable defensive performance. He did not allow even half a centimeter to Larin, Abdón or Muriqi. He left the zone with what it takes to cut with toughness and precision and a total insurance on both lateral centers and Greif’s frontal hits.
5
Prince
Offensive
He saw what he was as a footballer. Another attacker with judgment and skill, but a hesitant defender. He made some mistakes at the back but added a lot of attack when he teamed up with Brais and Barrenetxea.
6
braise
Throttle
He understood what the game was about and sought to speed up all the plays he could by unmarking or advantage passes on the first touch, although this caused him to lose a few balls. He found the goal from the front on three occasions.
7
Zubimendi
Ambidextrous
He left flashes of skill with his left foot, such as a filtered pass to Barrenetxea that could have resulted in a goal or a penalty. He was the best at finding his teammates in the forward line and even Imanol moved back to left center back when the ball was released.
8
Merino
hit
There were two parties. And one of them is him against the vermilion midfielder. He struck all colors but remained steadfast. Timid to rely on the ball and suffering from local counterattacks in the beginning. Tired and bruised, he left in the 89th minute for Turrientes.
9
barren
Electricity
The San Sebastian native captained a Real team blocked by Mallorca. He tried everything and it was unbalanced in quantity and quality. He provided a goal for Sadiq, caused a penalty that could have been called and starred in almost every realistic arrival. The leader blushes after his injury. Good news.

take
It appears
Like Traoré, it is difficult for him to enter the game and influence it. Very discreet in the first half, but in the second he emerged, moving inside and causing danger and uncertainty in the local defence.
Eleven
Sadiq
desperate
He failed the inevitable, and not once, in addition to losing balls in an incomprehensible way. Fighting for the goal and the ball. His laughter shows nervousness and desperation. A reaction is immediate, aimless.

Andrew Silva
covered
He came on time and played only 15 minutes where he was not involved in the game.
13
Turrientes
it’s too late
Rest for Merino.

Refreshments for the band.
