The matches follow one another and are similar for Real Sociedad. Led from the start of the second half by Mallorca after a perfect header from Gio Gonzalez (50th) magnificently served by Jaume Costa, the Txuri-Urdinak even wasted the opportunity to open the score from a penalty in the first act (45th) , Brais Méndez failing against Dominik Greif. 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 (63rd).
Absent from the field for three weeks, Mikel Oyarzabal only needed 8 minutes to wake up a timid Reale Arena of late, disappointed by recent performances (only one victory in the last 7 matches in all competitions). Despite everything, a cruel evening for the idol of San Sebastián who ended up coming up against Greif during the penalty shootout (4-5), after an extension 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.
