Real Sociedad player ratings at Valencia as Sucic stars and Barrenetxea spares blushes | OneFootball

Luka Sucic topped Real Sociedad’s ratings at Mestalla, with five also for Álex Remiro, Job Ochieng and Ander Barrenetxea. According to Diario Vasco, Beñat Barreto’s marks captured flair mixed with risk, yet key moments secured the points.

Ochieng threatened early and Gonçalo Guedes drew a swift booking for Gayà. Carlos Soler lashed a rebound in 42 without joy, and Dimitrievski soon denied Mikel Oyarzabal.

Sucic then hit a screamer into the top corner, fashioned by Ochieng’s deft backheel, and is now top scorer on three. Oyarzabal teed up Ochieng but later spurned a clear one-on-one, while Ochieng dragged wide and went close from a throw.

Remiro produced a superb stop from Aimar’s header, then released Sucic with a pinpoint ball. Luken Beitia, preferred to Sarr, was assured, though Aimar arrived first for 2-2. Jon Martín impressed, notably cutting out a Danjuma cut-back.

Soler led midfield and converted a low penalty after Yangel Herrera nipped in ahead of Guerra. Sergio Gómez struggled as Otorbi surged off the bench. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s changes, notably Yangel and Barrenetxea, yielded two goals.

Guedes was lively but passed up a shot on 41, Oyarzabal remains out of sorts and still goalless. Orri Óskarsson saw two late yellows in 96, Arsen Zakharyan entered chasing 2-3, and Barrenetxea rifled in to avert mishap.

Supporters can add their scores, which, alongside Liga, Copa del Rey and Europa League fixtures, feed the DV de Oro, a 41-year award for the season’s top performer.
