San Sebastián, Spain — October 24, 2025
In a crucial La Liga encounter at the Reale Arena, Real Sociedad secured a vital 2–1 victory over Sevilla, propelling them out of the relegation zone and offering a much-needed boost to their season.
Match Overview
The match commenced with both teams eager to secure three points. Real Sociedad’s captain, Mikel Oyarzabal, opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a well-taken penalty, giving the home side an early advantage. Sevilla responded in the 30th minute through Nemanja Gudelj, who capitalized on a well-executed set-piece to level the score.
However, Real Sociedad regained the lead just six minutes later. A miscommunication between Sevilla’s Gudelj and José Ángel Carmona allowed Oyarzabal to pounce on the loose ball, turning inside the box and firing a low shot past the goalkeeper, marking his second goal of the match.

Oyarzabal’s brace was the standout performance of the game, showcasing his clinical finishing and leadership qualities. His goals not only secured the win but also lifted Real Sociedad to 14th place in the standings, with 9 points from 10 matches.
For Sevilla, the defensive lapses proved costly. Despite dominating possession with 60.2%, they were unable to convert their territorial advantage into goals, leaving manager Nuno Espírito Santo with much to ponder as they remain in 9th place with 13 points.
Looking Ahead
This victory provides Real Sociedad with a much-needed confidence boost as they aim to climb further up the table. Sevilla, on the other hand, will need to address their defensive issues and find a way to convert possession into points in their upcoming fixtures.
