Imanol’s team wins with two goals in injury time and some controversies at the Power Horse Stadium.
Real Sociedad defeated Almería 3–1 in a match where all the goals were left for the second half. Gaizka Garitano’s team came out in their bravest form after going through the locker room. However, by causing even more problems, it would be Real Sociedad who would strike the first blow in the confrontation. Turrientes would score a goal that would ultimately be disallowed for handball at the moment of the finish. Despite this, Oyarzabal would open the scoring moments later in a move that showed the Andalusians’ defensive difficulties.

The locals did not give up and under pressure they made a good move in which Arribas would manage to equalize the match and make everything red hot. The match started to go haywire with the score tied, and without knowing what could happen on the pitch everything exploded in stoppage time. A handball from Akieme ensured that Carlos Fernández gave Real Sociedad the lead again from the penalty spot. A goal that would fall short, because shortly afterwards Zubimendi would put more distance on the scoreboard with a header and put an end to the illusion that the red and white would win their first match.
