The figures were written to 0-1 in a rather poor event.

The only goal came from the penalty spot in the final minutes of the first half when Iago Aspas was the safety itself from the point of the electric meter.

Isaac exchanged with the quarter left

Swedish Alexander Isak, who has not scored in La Liga since February 9, was substituted in the 75th minute and made no major fuss.

Isaac played from the start last Sunday against Real Madrid, but has, like the whole team, had a difficult period since the league restarted.

The loss means that Real Sociedad, with a match more played than the closest chasing team, remains in seventh place in La Liga which means qualifying for the Europa League.
