Real Sociedad controlled the opening stages. Jon Martรญn forced Radu into a low save from a Barrenetxea set-piece routine, and Oyarzabal later struck a powerful shot that the Celta goalkeeper pushed away. Take Kubo sent the rebound over the crossbar with the goal open.
Radu also denied Yangel Herrera from outside the area before halftime. Celta threatened after the break through Antaรฑรณn, whose shot from inside the area went wide. In the 77th minute, Oyarzabal went down after รlvaro Nรบรฑez grabbed him inside the area, but the referee judged the contact insufficient for a penalty.
Remiro kept the hosts level with 10 minutes remaining by stopping a centered Iago Aspas shot from near the penalty spot. Three minutes later, Guedes dribbled past two defenders for Real Sociedad, but his angled effort narrowly missed a post.
The result left both teams without a goal in a match attended by 30,364 spectators at Anoeta. Garcรญa Verdura booked Yangel Herrera and Suฤiฤ for Real Sociedad, and Yoel Lago, Marcos Alonso and Driouech for Celta.
