The Uruguayan scores in added time to give Barcelona a precious 1-0 win at Sociedad
The match began with Barcelona facing Real Sociedad in what promised to be an exciting LaLiga encounter. However, the first half was marked by a lackluster performance from the Catalan side. The home side dominated the early proceedings, with Barcelona struggling to maintain possession and create any meaningful attacks.
Ter Stegen made a crucial save for Barcelona, denying a powerful effort from Kubo. It was one of several important saves by the Barcelona goalkeeper, as Real Sociedad continued to press and control the match.
Despite being outplayed, Barcelona managed to keep the score level at 0-0. There were two controversial moments with potential penalty claims for the culers, but the VAR did not intervene. The half ended with Barcelona fortunate to be on level terms given their subpar performance.
At half-time, the favourites needed to make significant adjustments to their game as Sociedad had been the better side in the first 45 minutes. The home team had pressed Barcelona relentlessly, and the visitors struggled to connect passes effectively.

Xavi Hernandez's tactical changes seemed to have a positive impact on the team. They were able to gain more control of the ball and have a few good defensive plays. Real Sociedad continued to pose a threat, and Ter Stegen was called into action multiple times to keep his team in the match.
Just as the game seemed over, Araujo won the game. He found the back of the net but there had to be a bit of VAR-drama. The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but the ref pointed to the centre after a review.
