[San Sebastian (Spain) = Takahashi Tomoyuki]Real Sociedad's Japanese national team midfielder Kubo Takefusa (23) played the full game in the home game against Girona. In the first half of the match, the team scored a penalty kick that led to the team's second goal, contributing to the 3-2 victory.
R Sociedad lost to the previous match against Celta, and his path to competing in the European Cup for the sixth consecutive season has been disrupted. He has not won the last six games and is incredibly in 12th place. Coach Alguacil has injured Oscarson, Becker and Ageld and was left without Ayen Munoz suspended, but has changed two starting positions in an attempt to win the final home game. The system was 4-3-3, and Kubo started in seven consecutive games.
Girona, who won the previous match against Valladolid and managed to stay in the first division and rose to 13th place, has undergone a major rotation, replacing the seven starting players. Miguel Gutierrez, van de Beek, Brian Hill and Missoui were left out due to injuries, and the system fought 4-2-3-1.
Before the match, Leare Arena's stands were painted with blue and white club colors, and a huge banner was raised to celebrate the achievements of manager Alguacil, who has been scheduled to step down at the end of this season. The commander was then awarded by Chairman Apelivei.
With neither team has anything to put into consideration, home R Sociedad took the lead from the start. In the fifth minute, Pablo Marin scored the opening goal with a diving head.
Girona was not discouraged by this goal and immediately fought back. In the 10th minute, Asprija's cross was lifted from the left side, and Stiani, who has been mass-producing goals recently, tied the game in front of the goal.
In the 18th minute, Kubo scored a penalty kick by Asprija in the penalty area. Oyalsabal calmly scored this and took the lead again.
Kubo then actively aims for the goal. First, in the 22nd minute, he shot with his left foot from the front of the goal, but unfortunately he was fine saved by the goalkeeper. Furthermore, just before the end of the first half, he responded well to the opponent's defender's clear ball and fired a volley shot from outside the penalty area, but was once again blocked by the goalkeeper's good save.
Girona, who was trailing by one point, took the lead in the second half, and although they had a decisive chance right after the start, Ivan Martin, who successfully escaped behind the defensive line, failed a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
After that, both teams took turns replacing players one after another. R Sociedad swapped the four players by the 20th minute to refresh the team and cut off the bad trend, but the situation remains unchanged.
Girona set off a quick counter in the 32nd minute, pushing in behind R. Sociedad, and former R. Sociedad Portu pushed in to the final pass from Tsigankov, leading to the score tied 2-2.
The R Sociedad immediately moved after this, and poured in Maries Crena to thicken the front line. This substitution worked, and in the 46th minute of the second half, Maries Crena fired a brilliant volley from Oyalzabal's post play, scoring the winning goal.
Despite taking a two-time lead, R Sociedard was tied, but still managed to get a 3-2 victory at the last minute, earning three points in seven games and moving up to 11th place.
R Sociedard, who had struggled a lot since the start of the season and had not been able to score points as he wanted, finished his league home game with 8 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses, and 8 games.
After the match, coach Alguacil was lifted up by the players and received a loud applause from his supporters. The players then went around the pitch and gave the balls to the supporters in the stands. Finally, they took a group photo with the supporters behind the goal to close the final home match.
