As part of the 10th day of La Liga, Real Sociedad, sixth in the standings, hosted Mallorca, fifteenth at kick-off. At the Anoeta in San Sebastián, Imanol Alguacil’s men wanted to get back on track after the narrow defeat conceded against Atlético de Madrid just before the break. For its part, Mallorca was hoping to secure a second victory this season after three consecutive draws.
Masters of possession in the first act, the locals were however unable to shake the opposing nets, facing Bermellones who were concentrated and dangerous in certain sequences. Returning from the locker room, Brais Mendez finally found the break at the hour mark (1-0, 64th) to offer his team a short but precious success. In the ranking, Real Sociedad climbs to 5th place. Mallorca remains 15th.
