Real Sociedad vs Deportivo La Coruña

Real Sociedad raced into a commanding lead at Anoeta before needing every ounce of composure to hold off a furious Deportivo de A Coruña fightback, closing out a 3-2 win that was far tenser than the scoreline suggests. The hosts led 3-0 inside an hour, but what followed turned into one of the wildest final half-hours of the season. Jon Martín opened the scoring in the 29th minute, heading home a Carlos Soler cross, before Arsen Zakharyan curled in a second just five minutes later. Gonçalo Guedes added a third on the break early in the second half, finishing off a pass from Ander Barrenetxea. Depor hit back through Mario Soriano in the 61st minute, and the drama escalated when Pablo Marín was sent off for fouling Bil Nsongo, with Yeremay Hernández converting the resulting penalty. Deportivo piled on the pressure with a man advantage, and Lorenzo Amatucci saw red late on for a foul on Mikel Oyarzabal, but the visitors couldn't find an equalizer. The win lifts Real Sociedad to sixth in the table, while Deportivo de A Coruña will rue a sluggish start that undid their spirited comeback, leaving them in eighth.
