Three in a Row: Job Ochieng’s Heroics Not Enough in Five-Goal Thriller

The "Job Ochieng Show" continued at the Zubieta training ground on Sunday, as the Harambee Stars winger once again proved why he is one of the most clinical prospects in Spanish football. In a high-octane clash against promotion-chasing Deportivo La Coruña, Ochieng was the heartbeat of the Basque side’s attack, playing a direct role in both of their goals.

The Spark Plug

Real Sociedad B found themselves trailing early after Stoichkov opened the scoring for Deportivo in just the 2nd minute. However, the hosts refused to buckle, spearheaded by Ochieng’s relentless energy.

The equalizer in the 23rd minute was born from Ochieng’s brilliance; the Kenyan unleashed a thunderous strike that rattled the post, allowing Lander Astiazaran to pounce on the rebound and draw "Sanse" level.

Three Consecutive Games

Ochieng then took matters into his own hands in the 59th minute. Capitalizing on a defensive lapse, he showed predatory instincts to slot home from close range, putting Real Sociedad B 2-1 ahead. The goal marked a significant personal milestone:

• The Streak: Ochieng has now scored in three straight matches (vs. Málaga, Cádiz, and Deportivo).
• The Tally: He has moved to five goals for the season, a remarkable return for a player who only recently broke into the starting XI.

Late Heartbreak

Despite Ochieng's individual brilliance, the match took a painful turn for the hosts. Deportivo staged a late rally, equalizing through Bil Nsongo in the 83rd minute before Mario Soriano snatched a 94th-minute winner to break Basque hearts.

While the 3-2 defeat snaps Real Sociedad B’s three-game winning run, Ochieng’s "Big Mentality" and consistency remain the silver lining. Since signing his contract extension through 2028, the Kenyan has become a permanent fixture in the headlines, proving that his rise in the Spanish tiers is no fluke.
