Real Sociedad’s 1×1 against Valencia

Remiro

Busy

Duro’s gun went under his arms as he lunged. Then he stopped one-on-one and deflected two dangerous centers.

2

Elustondo

worker

Captain at Mestalla. He didn’t close well on goal. But he is one of the most dedicated, despite suffering with Rioja. Participation in the attack, perhaps too much so that it is not one of his virtues.

3

Zubeldia

getting lost

It was not his day. Lost the first time, confused on goal and they caught his back to another good chance by Che. At the ball it is not customary as at other times.

4

Aguerd

growing up

Like Zubeldia, she had better days. Initial confusion and poor positioning. Although it grew as the minutes passed. Good defensive action in the second half.

5

Pacheco

Sacrificed

Reprimand, as usual when leaving the zone and getting fouled. There was no understanding with Aguerd or Javi López in the beginning. He was too far away from Foulquier in goal. Changed rest.

6

Sergio Gomez

Dizziness

He tried three positions. He returned to the starting core. In the second half he was again a winger for 15 minutes and went on the wing. He didn’t shine in any of them but he was one of the most active on the ball. Without him he suffered a lot internally.

7

Zubimendi

pressed

Uncomfortable all the time, without the ability to dominate the match with or without the ball. He saw the yellow at the end in an act of desperation.

8

Brace Mendez

Scarce

Very poor in the first half and a bit better in the second. He had his chances, with a high shot and another crossing. La Real needs him.

9

Javi Lopez

Weak

Wrong place, very low level. They easily caught his back, lost the ball at the origin of 1-0 due to double bad decision and execution. He is too close to the band. Yellow-orange for an incorrect entry. Changed with half an hour left.

10

Becker

Dangerous

Even if the team didn’t support him, he did everything to create chances. He made a perfect pass to Óskarsson after a good body, sent some dangerous deliveries into the area and tried his luck from distance. Changed soon.

11

Oskarsson

Fallon

A very disappointing 73 minutes. You can’t miss that, with a perfect pass from Becker, in the goalmouth and poor shooting. I got control and almost drank the coffee. Some desperate losses. A nice extension and an interesting combination. It should improve.

12

Olasagasti

trust

Imanol’s trusted man, he came after the break to change everything. As soon as he came in he slipped a perfect pass over Brais with his right foot. Good minute.

13

Take Kubo

covered

He equalized with a final shot that came from a corner. A good combination and another positive drive. Very marked.

14

Barrenetxea

Blocked

Some initial sparks, a couple of dangerous centers and little else.

15

sucic

Booster

Imanol finally brought out the ‘new’ core again with Croatian and Olasa which worked well on Thursday, but no success this time

16

Oyarzabal

Can’t

Emergency solution in 74′. But he barely participated and was not helpful for the comeback.
