Real Sociedad clinched the Copa del Rey title by defeating Atlético Madrid in a dramatic penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw in Seville. Substitute goalkeeper Unai Marrero, born in San Sebastián, saved two penalties, helping his team secure only their fourth title in the tournament's history. The match began with a record-setting goal from Ander Barrenetxea just 13 seconds after kickoff. Atlético Madrid equalized twice, with goals from Ademola Lookman and Julián Alvarez. Real Sociedad's captain Mikel Oyarzabal scored from the penalty spot, marking his sixth final appearance with a goal. The match went to penalties after a tense extra time, where Pablo Marin, also a substitute, scored the decisive penalty. This victory is particularly significant as it ends a 38-year wait for the club to lift the trophy in front of their fans.
