The matches follow one another and are similar for Real Sociedad. The Txuri-Urdinak, who had wasted the opportunity to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the first act (45th), with Brais Méndez failing against Dominik Greif, conceded the opener on a perfect header from Gio Gonzalez (1 -0, 50th) magnificently served by Jaume Costa, Harmless, as often this season, the Basques never endangered a rearguard largely accustomed to defensive games. At least not before the entry of their captain Mikel Oyarzabal (63rd).
Absent from the pitch for three weeks, he only needed 8 minutes to equalize (1-1, 71st) and wake up a timid Reale Arena of late, disappointed by the performances of his team (only one victory out of the 7 last matches in all competitions). The evening was nevertheless cruel for the idol of San Sebastián who ended up coming up against Greif during the penalty shootout (4-5), after an extra period which did not make it possible to decide between the two teams.
Mallorca will try in the final to win a new Spanish Cup after that of 2003, against Atlético de Madrid or Athletic Bilbao. For Real, they will have to endure this serious setback before hosting PSG in a week, in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League.
