Real Sociedad's local newspaper selected Japanese national team midfielder Kubo Takefusa (23), who played the full game against Girona, as MVP.
R Sociedad faced Girona in the 37th round of the Spanish league held at home on the 18th. After taking a two-time lead, Maries Crena scored the winning goal in additional time in the second half. They won 3-2, earning three points in their first seven games.
Kubo, who started in seven consecutive games, showed particularly good movements in the first half, and in the 18th minute he scored a penalty kick set by Oyalsabal. He also shot awful in the 22nd and 46th minutes to threaten the opponent's goal, playing the full game and contributed to his first victory in a long time.
The club's local newspaper, Noticias de Guipscoa, selected Kubo as the team's MVP on the day. He then commented, “The best player of R Sociedard or the only person who can escape his responsibility this sad end of the season. He always worked hard, never hid, is brave and competitive. He induced a penalty kick and almost scored two super goals in just a few minutes. He continued to press and was always dangerous. He struggled even harder in the second half,” he gave the team's top seven points (up to 10 points).
Other points included Remiro, Javi Lopez, Subimendi, Bryce Mendes, Pablo Marin and Oyalzabal, 6 points, Traoré, 5 points, Ayen Munoz and Barrenechea, 4 points, and Sverdia, 2 points with the team's worst. Substitutes Stic, Sergio Gomez, Turientes, Arumble and Maries Crena were not scored.
R Sociedad's Spanish league record has been 46 points with 13 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses in 37 matches, and are now up to 11th place. Kubo's results have been 35 games (26 starting games), appearing in 2,292 minutes, and scoring 5 goals and 0 assists.
R Sociedad will then face Real Madrid in the 38th round of the Spanish league, which will be held away on the 24th, and will finish all the schedule of this season. (Commerce worker Takahashi Tomoyuki)
