Real Sociedad 2-1 Levante — match decided inside first 30 minutes
A quick opening strike and two goals inside half an hour settled the match in San Sebastián.
Real Sociedad beat Levante 2-1 in San Sebastián on October 25, 2026, a game that was decided inside the first half hour and served as a final warm-up ahead of the evening's El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Oskarson opened the scoring for the hosts in the 6th minute, but Perez levelled the match in the 22nd. Five minutes later, in the 27th minute, Tirientes restored Sociedad's lead to 2-1 — the score that stood until the final whistle.
Key phases and table impact
The decisive period came in that early 30-minute spell when both sides traded chances and Sociedad capitalised twice to claim the three points. The visitors had no answer after Tirientes' strike and the home side managed the game until the end.
With the victory Real Sociedad moved up to fifth place in the standings, reaching 19 points. Levante remain in 14th place with 10 points from ten matches.
The match acted as a curtain-raiser for one of Spanish football's biggest fixtures later the same day, but in San Sebastián it was the home team who collected the points and momentum.
