Real Sociedad player ratings: Ochieng is the real deal | OneFootball

Real Sociedad player ratings as Ochieng stole the show in a 3-2 victory over Elche, directly involved in all three goals. Sucic settled it late on after a chaotic second half. He might have had more, laying one on for Guedes and going close again in stoppage time.

As reported by AS, Ochieng fired the opener, then pressed Bigas into a mistake and set up Yangel Herrera to open his Real scoring account. Sucic thought he had added another, but his finish was ruled out for a Jon Martín handball and the defender was then sent off on review.

Marrero had little to do before the interval, then saved well from Fer Niño on 55. Lemar pulled one back and the keeper later denied Cepeda, though he was left exposed for the 2-2. He preserved the win with two late stops, one a spectacular effort in added time.

Zubeldia marshalled the back line superbly, stepping in decisively early on. Sarr started nervously but improved before making way on 57, while Sergio Gómez delivered tidily yet tired late. Aramburu was solid but rash, booked early and flirting with a second caution, he now has three in five outings.

Soler was more involved and fed Ochieng for the first goal, while Oyarzabal, short of spark, departed on 69 to warm local applause. Guedes looked off the pace before leaving on 57. From the bench, Marchal’s brief stint ended on 81 as Matarazzo reshaped, Pacheco steadied things after Jon Martín’s red despite a role in the 2-2, Gorrotxategi battled under pressure and Fort made a promising debut in a frenzied half.
