Real Sociedad booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals after edging Osasuna 4-3 on penalties following a dramatic 2-2 draw after extra time at Anoeta Stadium. The tie delivered exactly the tension expected after SoftFootball previewed the Basque derby as a tight and emotional contest , with both sides aware of what was at stake.
The night started badly for the hosts. Osasuna stunned the crowd early when Jon Moncayola struck in the fourth minute, and things worsened when Mikel Oyarzabal inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 17th.
Real Sociedad struggled for rhythm in the first half but gradually settled and began to push higher, feeding off the energy from the stands. Their resilience echoed recent league moments highlighted by SoftFootball, including a stoppage-time win at Getafe that showed this team's refusal to fold.
