The meeting went even worse with the visitors opening the score from the penalty spot, by Luis Rioja (0-1, 76th). But the Txuri-Urdin showed character and they were rewarded for their efforts in the last quarter of an hour with a goal from Martin Zubimendi (1-1, 90th + 4).
This is the third consecutive draw for Real Sociedad, which is still in sixth place in the La Liga standings, three points behind Betis (5th), and now six points from the Top 4.
