Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Sociedad Live Score, Copa Del Rey Final: Colchoneros Hit Back As Lookman Brings Them Level

La Real are pushing again and Atlético are under a bit of pressure here. Real Sociedad win a corner after Marcos Llorente puts it behind under pressure. The set-piece gives them another chance to load the box.

And from the restart, it’s chaos in there! Carlos Soler finds space right in the middle and gets his shot away, but it’s blocked bravely by the Atlético defence. Bodies everywhere, last-ditch reactions, and Atlético just about survive.

La Real are knocking on the door again.

We are level and it’s Ademola Lookman who brings Atlético right back into it.

19’ and 1–1, what a finish that is. The ball breaks kindly off a rebound on the edge of the box, and Lookman reacts fastest. No hesitation at all. He swings through it low, hard, and it zips straight into the bottom corner.

Unai Marrero dives but it’s already past him. No chance.

And just like that, the early lead is wiped out. La Real were ahead inside a minute, but Atlético have worked their way back into it. Momentum has completely shifted now, this is starting to open up properly

We’ve got a whistle and Atlético are frustrated!

Griezmann goes down after a trip and the referee Javier Alberola is quick to react. No hesitation at all, foul given against him.

You can hear a bit of complaint from the Atlético players, but the decision is made and play stops right there. Momentum just gets interrupted as they were trying to build something.

Atlético Madrid are starting to ask questions now.

Griezmann steps up over the free kick and whips a teasing ball into the box. It had just the right amount of curl, but the defence reads it well and gets it away before any red-and-white shirts can pounce.

Better from Atlético, though. They’re settling, pushing higher, and that delivery shows they’re already looking dangerous from set pieces.

We are barely a minute in and it’s absolute chaos early on.

GOAL! 0–1 Real Sociedad and it comes so quickly. Ander Barrenetxea rises brilliantly and somehow gets enough on the header from what looked like a tight, difficult angle. It’s a proper attacking leap, perfect timing, and the keeper has no chance at all.

What a start. No settling in, no feeling-out period, just straight into the game and Real Sociedad are already in front. The home side stunned early, and they’ll need to respond immediately or this could get tricky fast.

We are underway and the first half has kicked off.

Both teams are out there, fully set, and you can already feel that early nervous energy in the air. Players had their final warm-ups done, lineups confirmed, and now it’s all business.
