Kubo saves Monday – VIP Deportivo

Take Kubo gives Real Sociedad the victory against Villarreal.

The same as always doing the same thing as always. That’s how it is. Once again Take Kubo gives Real Sociedad three points with an authentic goal in the 51st minute. An incredible run by the Japanese puts the white-blue in the positions of Conference League and leaves them two points behind a Villarreal that is very shaken after the crash.

Lineups

Royal Society: Remiro; Aramburu, Aritz, Aguerd, Aihen; Zubimendi, Brais Méndez, Sucic; Kubo, Sergio Gómez and Oyarzabal.

Villarreal: Louis Junior; Female, Foyth, Kambwala, Sergi Cardona; Gueye, Comess, Couple, Denis Suarez; Baena and Barry.

A lot of football but few goals

A match with a more than controversial schedule gave I start with a very aggressive Real Sociedad, perhaps enraged by the week ahead. Imanol’s men started with very advanced lines, biting into the pressure. He even had Brais the first of the game in the 3rd minute, stamping a dead ball on a defender.

Baena woke up to 15 minutes of monologue blue and white and he got Villarreal to start having longer possessions and start generating actions. The yellow awakening brought with it its first dangerous action. A play between Parejo and Gueye He left Barry in a one-on-one situation that Remiro caught. Marcelino’s men were comfortable on the pitch, nothing like the first quarter of an hour. La Real was stuck. But when Real is stuck, the usual one appears. There was Take Kubo, on his right wing, waiting for the ball to go away from everyone in front of him and when he stepped on the baseline, he threw a back pass so that Luka Sucic’s shot hit the post. When Real was at its worst, it was clearest.

Once again Kubo savior

The only shot on goal in the first half came after a play from Kubo’s boots. And at the start of the second, He was also the protagonist. Oyarzabal cleared a ball that seemed to go nowhere, but then the Japanese appeared to make a magnificent control, leave Parejo behind in the race and beat Luiz Junior’s goal after a ride of more than 60 meters. The same as always doing the same thing as always. Once again, the Japanese unblocking matches.

A newcomer to the field Gerard Moreno He tried to counter Kubo’s goal with a cross shot in which Remiro had to intervene. The entry of the Villareal forward gave the yellow submarine another step. Two minutes later, He was the architect of the center that Cardona finished off with a volley that Remiro rejected with a stoppage. After these plays, the visitors’ attack could not find any gaps in the defense blue and white, and Imanol’s men were almost asking for time to leave with victory. Three very valuable points for Real Sociedad as they once again get into the European positions.
