The Real Sociedad players came out strong, despite being down by a goal early on, thanks to Ander Barrenetxea's first-ever derby goal.

The Athletic Bilbao fans were initially jubilant when their team took the lead, but Real Sociedad's commitment and pressure eventually paid off. Gonรงalo Guedes scored for Real Sociedad in the second half to level the score, leaving the game open for a thrilling finish.

In stoppage time, Jon Gorrotxategi sealed the win with an incredible goal that left everyone stunned. The Basque derby is known for its unique dynamic and emotional connection between players and fans, and this match embodied that spirit perfectly.

At the end of the match, the two teams came together, united in their passion for football. The result marked a significant shift in momentum for Real Sociedad, leaving fans and pundits alike with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what's to come.
 
This match was pure pandemonium on the pitch ๐Ÿคฏ! I mean, the conditions were crazy wet and it felt like anything could happen at any time. But you know what? Real Sociedad just kept pushing forward, even when they were down by a goal. And that Ander Barrenetxea guy, he's got some serious skills! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I love how both teams came together at the end, though. It shows that all this rivalry stuff is just part of the game, and not about hating each other. I mean, can you imagine if they'd just gotten up and walked off the pitch? No way, man... ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ

And let's be real, that last-minute goal from Jon Gorrotxategi was just insane! I need to see it again like five times to believe it happened. ๐Ÿ˜ The atmosphere must have been electric in the stadium. That win for Real Sociedad is huge, and I'm hyped to see what they can do next season! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
I mean, I'm not saying they didn't deserve it... but like, Athletic Bilbao was totally on top at one point, right? ๐Ÿ˜’ And then Real Sociedad just... turned it around? ๐Ÿค” I don't know, man, the weather conditions were crazy and stuff, so maybe it's unfair to say anything. But, I guess Gonรงalo Guedes' goal in the second half was a pretty big turning point. ๐Ÿ™ƒ And that last minute goal by Jon Gorrotxategi? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ I don't know if it's fair to call it "surreal" like they did... but it was definitely a weird and awesome moment. The way the two teams came together at the end was really cool, though. ๐Ÿ‘
 
I'm totally stoked that Real Sociedad won that crazy Basque derby match ๐Ÿคฉ... wait, no I'm not, I was just saying that to get into the spirit of things! ๐Ÿ˜… Actually, I think the wet conditions might've been a total bummer for both teams. Who needs all that mud and rain on their beautiful game? ๐Ÿ’ฆ Ugh, my excitement just died ๐Ÿค•... but at the same time, it's kinda awesome how Ander Barrenetxea scored his first derby goal. It's like, finally some young blood in this historic rivalry! ๐Ÿ‘ And Gonรงalo Guedes' equalizer was so cool... or was it? Maybe Real Sociedad were just lucky to get a second chance? ๐Ÿค” Whatever the case, that stoppage-time winner by Jon Gorrotxategi? Whoa... I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
 
I'm not buying it ๐Ÿ™„. Ander Barrenetxea scores his first-ever derby goal and suddenly Real Sociedad is on top of the world? Come on, that's just a fluke! ๐Ÿ˜‚ They were down by a goal early on, but they just magically got their act together in the second half? And what about Athletic Bilbao's team effort? It seems like one player makes all the difference ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And another thing, 178 years without a derby win is quite the drought... do you think this is just a one-off or are they actually on the rise? ๐Ÿค” Can we get some stats and analysis to back up these claims? ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’ฅ just watched this match between Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao and I'm still reeling from the drama ๐Ÿคฏ Ander Barrenetxea's first-ever derby goal was insane, and Gonรงalo Guedes's equalizer had me on the edge of my seat ๐Ÿ˜… But what really made this win special was the way both teams came together at the end. It was like they forgot about the game and just enjoyed each other's company ๐Ÿค That moment of unity is what makes football so beautiful, you know? ๐Ÿ’– The fact that Real Sociedad won after 178 years of waiting must've been a huge motivation boost for them. I'm loving this new era for the team! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
 
OMG, that was insane!! ๐Ÿคฏ I mean, who expects that Real Sociedad would come back from behind like that? They were so down and out, but then they just poured it on ๐Ÿ’ช. And that goal by Jon Gorrotxategi in stoppage time... wow! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ It's like he had a direct line to the net ๐Ÿ“ˆ.

I love how the fans reacted at the end too - singing together before the game was already awesome, but after winning, they just celebrated and showed their team spirit ๐ŸŽ‰. That moment with both teams shaking hands at the end is so cool ๐Ÿ˜Š. It's clear that the Basque derby has this special energy to it ๐Ÿ’ฅ. Can't wait to see what happens next for Real Sociedad! ๐Ÿค”
 
OMG did you see that stoppage time goal by Jon Gorrotxategi ? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ it was like the ball just flew into the net out of nowhere! ๐Ÿคฏ i'm still trying to process how Real Sociedad came back from being down a goal and won the derby anyway... ๐Ÿ™ƒ 178 years without a win is crazy, they must've had so much pressure on them. ๐Ÿค” i love that the players sang together before their fans, it was such a beautiful moment of unity between the teams. ๐Ÿ’– what's even crazier is that Athletic Bilbao were initially jubilant when they took the lead... ๐Ÿ˜‚ can you imagine how weird it must've been for them to be celebrating at first and then realizing the other team came back to win? ๐Ÿคฏ
