Yesterday’s Result: Stoppage Time Heartbreak at the Coliseum
Friday, January 9, 2026
In a match that looked destined for a stalemate, Real Sociedad snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory away at Getafe.
The headlines belong to Jon Aramburu, who rose highest to head home a corner in the 96th minute, securing all three points for the Basque side. Earlier, Brais Méndez had opened the scoring with a world-class volley, only for Getafe's Juanmi to equalize in the 90th minute. The win marks a massive turning point for Real Sociedad's new American manager, Pellegrino Matarazzo, earning him his first victory since taking the reins.
Final Score: Getafe 1 – 2 Real Sociedad

Why this weekend is "Must-Watch"
The absence of the "Big Two" (Barca and Real) creates a unique power vacuum. Villarreal, led by the in-form Alberto Moleiro, are currently the hottest team in Spain. If they dismantle Alavés today, they officially join the title conversation for the second half of the 2026 season.
