Away from Benfica, Gonçalo Guedes makes headlines in Spain | OneFootball

Gonçalo Guedes stood out in Real Sociedad’s most recent match, but not for the best reasons. The former player, who came up through the ranks at Benfica, did not hide his frustration after being told he would be substituted, a moment that was caught on television cameras. The match ended in a 1-1 draw against Elche.

Everything happened in the second half of the match, part of another LaLiga round, when, in the 64th minute, the coach of the Basque team decided to take off the number 11 to bring on Umar Dasiq. However, the situation itself only unfolded when the player left the pitch.

After giving up his spot to his teammate, Guedes, visibly downcast, sat on the Real Sociedad bench, where he couldn’t contain his frustration and ended up throwing a water bottle, an action that was caught on television cameras.

At the time of the substitution, Real Sociedad – who signed the Portuguese player during the summer transfer window – was losing 1-0 to Elche, where another former Benfica youth player, Martim Neto, also plays. In the dying moments, the Basque team managed to equalize in the 89th minute, thanks to a penalty converted by Oyarzabal.

Gonçalo Guedes – currently valued at 8 million euros – has been a regular option for the Basque Country side. This season, the former Benfica player has played 12 official matches, all in the Spanish league. In the 485 minutes he has been on the pitch, the number 11 has recorded one goal and one assist.
