Sorloth's first goal came after 11 minutes, when he connected with a half-volley from Pablo Barrios' cross, beating goalkeeper Álex Remiro. He then scored again after a clever stepover left his defender bewildered, and his third goal came soon after due to a defensive mistake.

The Norwegian's fourth and final goal of the half was a powerful strike, which he unleashed after controlling Javi Galan's cross. Sociedad struggled to respond, and their best chance to score a consolation goal came just before halftime, when Martin Zubimendi volleyed Takefusa Kubo's cross over the back post.

Although Sorloth was just a few inches away from scoring his fifth goal early in the second half, Sociedad's chances of a comeback were slim. Substitute Arkaitz Mariezkurrena managed to record their first shot on target, but Jan Oblak easily saved his attempt. The match ended goalless in the second half, with Atletico Madrid securing their place in next season's UEFA Champions League with ease, while Sociedad's winless streak extended to five matches.

Atletico Madrid's win marked a significant milestone for the team, and Alexander Sorloth's impressive performance earned him the Man of the Match award.
