The keenly contested encounter ended 2-2 after extra time, forcing the game into penalties to determine the winner. Real Sociedad held their nerve to claim a 4-3 victory in the shootout.
Goalkeeper Unai Marrero emerged as the hero for Sociedad, producing two crucial saves during the shootout to secure the trophy for his side.
The triumph marks Real Sociedad’s fourth Copa del Rey title, capping off a dramatic final in which Lookman’s contribution ultimately was not enough to hand Atletico Madrid the silverware.
