La Liga Football News – Wanda Metropolitano Witnessed a 2-2 Draw
Just seven minutes into the game, Real Sociedad took the lead as Norwegian International Alexander Sørloth broke the deadlock.
He produced a low drive into the middle of the net.
Meanwhile, the hosts were struggling to gain a foothold in the contest. Antoine Griezmann saw his effort get blocked following Thomas Lemar’s initial ball into the box.
The visitors then doubled their advantage just three minutes into the second half.
Isak curled a fine free-kick into the bottom left-hand corner scoring his first goal of the season.
With this goal, he also became the first La Liga player to score and provide an assist away against Atletico. The last player to do both in one match was Cristiano Ronaldo back in April 2012, with Real Madrid.
On the other hand, however, Los Colchoneros needed to recover, and they luckily got to do just that.
Luis Suarez added his name on the scoreboard shortly before an hour mark. He scored with a superb header from João Félix’s cross for his fifth league goal of the season.
And then, finally, the Uruguayan stole the show once again after scoring from the penalty spot in the 77th minute. Álex Remiro made the penalty dive the wrong way.
This penalty goal restored the parity and his seventh career goal against Sociedad helped Atletico’s comeback from behind to equalize.
