"Mikel Oyarzabal tucked home an 87th-minute penalty to seal the victory at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta on Wednesday, teeing up a date with Atletico Madrid on April 18 in Seville."
"Both sides struggled to create any chances of note until late on, when Sociedad defender Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta grabbed the shirt of Yangel Herrera inside the area. And following a lengthy VAR review, referee Cesar Soto Grado pointed to the penalty spot, with Oyarzabal stepping up to send Padilla the wrong way from 12 yards out."
"Sociedad missed a huge chance to take the lead nine minutes before half-time, but after Guedes was slipped in, Soler was unable to connect with his teasing cross into the box."
