Barrenetxea and Oskarsson salvage Real Sociedad's night in four-goal thriller

Çok Eğlenceli Futmetrix Puanı: 73/100. When a match swings through two lead changes and four different goalscorers, the real story isn't the final scoreline—it's which team proved they could absorb punishment and fire back.

Early Milla strike puts Espanyol in command

Espanyol struck with clinical efficiency. Pere Milla buried the opening chance in the 10th minute after Roberto Fernández's assist, and when Javi Puado converted a penalty at the stroke of halftime, the visitors seemed destined for a comfortable away victory. A 0-2 scoreline promised control. Real Sociedad had other ideas.

Intensity redefined: Eight-minute resurrection

Ander Barrenetxea's 61st-minute strike cut the deficit, but the real intensity erupted when substitute Ó. Oskarsson headed home Mikel Oyarzabal's cross in the 69th. From 0-2 down to 2-2 in eight minutes—a comeback that demanded every ounce of balance and belief. The lead changed hands twice, and Espanyol's early advantage evaporated into thin air.

Dmitrović stands firm despite the onslaught

Real Sociedad's 62% possession translated into 15 shots, but Marko Dmitrović proved unshakeable between the sticks, recording five crucial saves. The Serbian goalkeeper was the dam holding back a flood—without him, this match becomes a rout. Espanyol's defensive discipline crumbled in the second half, surrendering the upset factor they'd built so carefully.
