Real Sociedad player ratings after Granada defeat | OneFootball

Real Sociedad fell to Granada, and the player ratings underline a costly night at the back and a handful of positives. Goalkeeper Arrula (3) conceded three and gave away a penalty, yet prevented an even heavier loss.

According to Diario Vasco, Esther (1) was short of authority on the right, offered little in build-up and erred for the hosts’ third. Claudia (2) looked more comfortable at right-back, a snapshot of the side’s negative run. Moraza (2) lacked her usual intensity and could have done more on the first two goals, while Camino (2) was repurposed at left-back and struggled on the ball.

Arola (3) showed promise down the right until half-time, but created no chances. Intza (3) started brightly on the left then faded, completing the match. Ainhoa (3) was more involved from midfield and chased an equaliser, though she needs to play off a central reference.

Paula Fernández (4) stood out, supplying two set-piece assists and adding steel in midfield. Cahynová (3) scored and remained influential, later dropping into the heart of defence. Chacón (4) impressed too, netting on her official debut for the first team and forcing another early opening.

From the bench, Cecilia (2) was a surprise omission from the XI and could not change the picture. Eizagirre (2), another high-profile replacement, also failed to turn the tide. Ainoa (3) had a clear chance in the 98th minute to avert defeat, and Seelenfreund (3) made her first league outing from the bench, probing for gaps.
