Real Sociedad records sixth consecutive home clean sheet in 1-0 win over Villarreal
MADRID (AP) — Real Sociedad recorded a sixth clean sheet in a row at home on the way to a 1-0 win over Villarreal in La Liga on Monday.
Sociedad played under protest having criticized the league for a schedule that will see it play three games in seven days.
However, the busy run got off to a perfect start thanks to Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo, who six minutes into the second half seized on a long clearance to muscle his way into the Villarreal box and poke the ball under the goalkeeper.
It was the sixth home game in a row where Sociedad has kept a clean sheet but its first league win since early December. The result moved it into seventh spot, two points and two places behind Villarreal.
