Real Sociedad beats Atletico Madrid in penalty shootout to win Copa del Rey
title
SEVILLE, Spain (AP) --- Real Sociedad beat Atletico Madrid on penalties to win
the Copa del Rey title on Saturday.
After the game finished 2-2 following extra time, Sociedad goalkeeper Unai
Marrero saved shots by Alexander Sorloth and Julin Alvarez and Pablo Marn
converted the last kick to clinch the shootout 4-3.
Sociedad needed 14 seconds and just three players to touch the ball directly
after kickoff to take the lead through Ander Barrenetxea.
Ademola Lookman equalized for Diego Simeone's side with a goal in the 19th
minute, but a penalty by goalkeeper Juan Musso allowed Mikel Oyarzabal to
restore Sociedad's advantage in first-half injury time.
Alvarez stroked a shot into the right corner to make it 2-2 in the 83rd.
