Real Sociedad vs Valencia CF
Match Report
Valencia came from behind to beat Real Sociedad 4-3 in a seven-goal rollercoaster at Reale Arena. Javier Guerra was the undisputed hero, scoring twice — including a 90+3' winner that sealed a vital three points for the visitors.
Real Sociedad were quickly out of the blocks through Aihen Muñoz (3'), but Valencia turned it around with Guerra (8') and Hugo Duro (22'). The hosts fought back in the second half — a César Tárrega own goal (60') and Orri Óskarsson's strike (63') made it level. Eray Cömert's red card in the 70th left Valencia a man down, yet Guido Rodríguez (89') restored their lead before Guerra put it beyond doubt deep in stoppage time.
The win secures mathematical survival for Valencia, a remarkable result given they finished with ten men. Real Sociedad will lick their wounds after letting this one slip — European qualification hopes remain alive, but the home defeat stings.
