In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Real Sociedad received a whistle penalty. Merino burst into the penalty area and was violated by Calero, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, Isaac faced the penalty and calmly shot through Oyer's guarded city! Real Sociedad eventually killed espanyol.

After the game, many Chinese fans still ran to the official social account of espanyol in the middle of the night to vent their dissatisfaction. Netizens wrote: "Although we lost, we were very comfortable in our hearts!" "Don't you go up to Wu Lei!" "Lose well!"
