Real Sociedad Struggles to Secure Victories in LaLiga

Real Sociedad has achieved victories in only 158 of the 1,080 minutes played in LaLiga, illustrating the challenges they face in securing match wins, especially considering their inability to overturn a deficit, a feat they have not accomplished in 19 months. This 14.6% win rate is derived from four matches out of the twelve played, specifically the three wins at Anoeta against Mallorca, Sevilla, and Athletic, along with a brief period during their visit to Barcelona.

The season commenced for Real Sociedad at Mestalla, where they conceded a goal in the 57th minute. However, Kubo equalized shortly after, in the 60th minute, resulting in a 1-1 draw. During their first home match at Anoeta, Espanyol scored first in the 10th minute. The match saw the home side equalize in the second half with goals from Barrenetxea and Óskarsson, the latter equalizing in the 69th minute, adding to the 59 minutes they had spent trailing.

In another match against Oviedo, they fell behind in the 40th minute, while Real Madrid took the lead early in their visit to San Sebastián, scoring in the 12th minute. Betis scored first in the 7th minute, and after Brais Méndez leveled in the 13th, they regained the lead in the 49th minute, eventually finishing the match 3-1.

Real Sociedad recorded their first win in this LaLiga season during the sixth matchday, when Oyarzabal scored the decisive 1-0 against Mallorca in the 49th minute. Shortly after, Odriozola surprised everyone by putting Real Sociedad ahead at Barcelona, only for the home side to equalize in the 43rd minute and then take the lead in the 59th for a final score of 1-2. They also conceded to Rayo in the 84th minute, leading to six additional minutes of trailing before they finally equalized in the 89th minute against Vigo.

In total, Real Sociedad has led in the scoreline for 158 out of the 1,080 minutes played, accounting for 14.6% of the time, while they have been behind for 375 minutes, or 34.7%. Clearly, they need to score first to achieve victories, a requirement that proves to be a significant challenge.
