REAL SOCIEDAD
TEAM NOTES
Coach: Gonzalo Arconado (1st year took over for Jose Maria Amorrortu) Liga Primera
Record: 7-11-4
Rank: 12th, 25 points
Last Result: 2-1 win vs. Mallorca, February 5
Streak: Won 1 Next Game: at Atletico Madrid, February 12 Coach Gonzalo Arconado's debut on the Real Sociedad bench was a successful one as Real Sociedad defeated Mallorca 2-1. Chilean striker Mark Gonzalez, recently acquired during the winter transfer window, scored with less than ten minutes remaining to provide the margin of victory. Danish striker Morten Skoubo has scored twice in his last three matches. Turkish international Nihat, who could not find a new club during the winter transfer window, may find a new home at Villarreal next season. Midfielder Mikel Aranburu's rehabilitation is coming along well and Aranburu hopes to return to action in the coming weeks. Real Sociedad have 30 injuries this season that have caused players to miss a match. The victory over Mallorca was only the second for Real Sociedad in their last 13 games. Real Sociedad travel to the Vicente Calderon stadium this weekend to take on an Atletico Madrid side that has reeled off three straight victories.
