An own goal by goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, just after six minutes, left Real Sociedad in advantage and, despite the balance in ball possession, the San Sebastián team was always much more vertical and effective in their offensive game and could even have built a more robust victory.
However, it was only in the 90th minute that Real Sociedad could take victory for granted, when Japanese striker Takefusa Kubo scored the second goal, with a low, dry and precise shot, after a good pass requesting his clearance in the area .
With the three points added, Real Sociedad consolidated its candidacy for one of the top four places, which give access to the 2023/24 Champions League, temporarily increasing the advance over fifth, Villarreal, to eight points, six matchdays to run.
