Lobete went on with his side struggling but came through with a powerful shot that Mallorca’s goalkeeper got a hand on but could not keep out. Sociedad lost left back Aihen Muñoz to a second yellow card in the final seconds of the first half. The clutch win moved Sociedad three points clear of Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
