The first half stayed goalless. Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo cancelled each other out through the early exchanges, and the first booking went to Yangel Herrera in the 22nd minute. The teams reached half-time at 0-0.

After the interval the score still did not move.

Key Moments

The goalless first half mattered because it left the second period as the only window for a winner, and that window closed empty. Celta Vigo's cluster of yellow cards after the restart then kept the visitors on a disciplinary edge while the score stayed 0-0. Real Sociedad piled up corners and shots without finding a goal, which is why territorial control never became a lead. The late cautions changed the card count, not the result.
