Real Sociedad vs. Mallorca: Both Teams Desperate for First Win

Real Sociedad's struggles can be attributed to their inability to find consistency and reliability in the early stages of the season. The absence of key players, particularly in midfield, has further compounded their problems.

Mallorca, while also struggling, managed a draw against Atlético de Madrid in their previous match, providing a slight morale boost. However, they have faced a challenging start to the season, having already played against Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético.

Real Sociedad aimed to exploit the flanks, with Venezuelan international Jon Aramburu starting as a right-back. The team needed to improve their finishing and reduce errors, which have plagued them in previous matches.

The match saw chances for both sides, with Mallorca's Remiro forced into an early save. Real Sociedad's Barrenetxea missed a good chance, and Aramburu squandered an opportunity from a Kubo cross. Maffeo received a yellow card for a foul on Oyarzabal. The match ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw.

Both Real Sociedad and Mallorca are seeking their first win of the season and a chance to climb out of the relegation zone.

Real Sociedad: Alex Remiro; Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Duje Caleta-Car, Sergio Gómez; Brais Méndez, Gorrotxategui, Carlos Soler; Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal and Goncalo Guedes. Mallorca: Leo Román; Maffeo, Valjent, Raíllo, Lato; Antonio Sánchez, Mascarell, Darder; Joseph, Muriqi and Pablo Torre.
