SAN SEBASTIÁN, Spain (Interstat) — Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid opened their La Liga campaigns with a 1-1 draw Sunday at Reale Arena.

The result aligned with the Interstat game simulator’s projection, though it defied the same system’s high win probability for the hosts. Substitute Alexander Sørloth broke the deadlock for Real Sociedad in the 50th minute, assisted by Gonçalo Guedes. Atletico Madrid responded just five minutes later, with Guedes scoring the equalizer off an assist from fellow substitute Giacomo Raspadori.

The match featured six yellow cards, including one for Guedes in the 13th minute. Both teams now hold an identical record in La Liga play this season.
