Kubo the hero for Real Sociedad against Espanyol

Espanyol have a hectic schedule ahead, facing Atlético Madrid on 28 August, Rayo Vallecano on 31 August, and then hosting Deportivo Alavés on 15 September.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad's upcoming fixtures include a clash with Deportivo Alavés on 28 August, a battle against Getafe on 1 September, and a highly anticipated home game against Real Madrid on 15 September.

The decisive moment of the match came in the second half when Kubo's strike secured Real Sociedad a 1-0 victory away to Espanyol.

It wasn't until the 80th minute that Takefusa Kubo, assisted by Hamari Traoré, broke the deadlock to put Real Sociedad in the lead.

This win marked Real Sociedad's first triumph of the season, while Espanyol are still searching for their first points after suffering two straight defeats.
