"Julian Alvarez spurned two glorious chances early on at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta: first, volleying over from a corner in the sixth minute, before firing a shot wide of the left post after Alex Baena's neat pass. Sociedad had the first shot on target as Jan Oblak flung into action to deny Brais Mendez, as Carlos Soler's neat flick five minutes before the break was repelled by the Slovenian."
"But just five minutes after the restart, Atletico got themselves ahead when Giuliano Simeone's teasing delivery into the area was met by the head of Sorloth at the back post. Diego Simeone's side should have doubled their lead two minutes later when Conor Gallagher was played in behind, but he fired wide of the mark with just Alex Remiro to beat. And that miss proved costly three minutes later as Mendez led a blistering counter-attack, which resulted in Goncalo Guedes finding the top corner"
Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Sociedad at the Estadio Municipal de Anoeta, missing the chance to move third in LaLiga. Julian Alvarez missed two early opportunities, while Jan Oblak denied Brais Mendez and repelled a Carlos Soler attempt before half-time. Atletico took the lead five minutes after the restart through Sorloth's header from Giuliano Simeone's delivery, but Conor Gallagher squandered a near-certain second goal. Sociedad quickly countered, with Brais Mendez creating the move that allowed Goncalo Guedes to curl into the top corner from Takefusa Kubo's cross. Antoine Griezmann nearly won it late, but the match finished level. Atletico's continuing poor away form is undermining their title challenge.
