September 03, (THEWILL) – In a thrilling LaLiga match against Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw as Alexander Isak’s replacement, Umar Sadiq, netted on his debut.
Alvaro Morata scored early on to extend his strong start to the new season for La Real, but the hosts offered everything they had in a first half that saw both teams hit the woodwork.
The Nigerian forward, Sadiq, came on as a substitute at halftime and met Momo Cho’s hanging cross with a header to level the scores, making an immediate impact for his new team.
The two teams are still tied on seven points after four La Liga games thanks to Diego Simeone’s team’s resolute performance despite the hosts enjoying the best of a vibrant second half.
On Wednesday, Atletico Madrid will host Porto to open their Champions League campaign, while Sociedad will travel to Manchester United the following day to play in the Europa League.
