In a surprising turn of events at Zubieta, Real Sociedad defeated FC Barcelona 2-1 on Sunday, bringing an end to Barcelona’s flawless run in the 2026/27 Liga F season.
Barcelona, led by coach Pere Romeu, had been undefeated over five matches, securing 15 points with five consecutive wins. However, their winning streak was snapped by a determined Real Sociedad side, who had previously troubled Barcelona at this venue last year.
Real Sociedad Nets Win Against Barça in 1st Half
The match began with an immediate impact as Patri Guijarro put Barcelona ahead within the first minute. Yet, this lead was short-lived; Real Sociedad responded swiftly when Cecilia Marcos equalized in the 13th minute. Before halftime, in stoppage time, Ainhoa Marín secured the decisive goal, completing a first-half comeback that set the tone for the rest of the match.
Barcelona intensified their efforts after the break, pushing hard to regain the advantage. A potential penalty awarded to Barcelona’s Brugts was overturned following a VAR review, denying them a crucial opportunity. Forward Ewa Pajor also posed a late threat, but Real Sociedad’s defense held firm, preserving the victory as the clock expired.
This result significantly alters the Liga F standings. Prior to the match, Real Sociedad was languishing in 15th place with only two points from two draws and three losses, while Barcelona topped the table with a perfect 15 points. The win marks Real Sociedad’s first of the season and narrows the gap for Real Madrid, who currently hold 13 points and now have an opportunity to close in on the summit.
