Real Sociedad are making a seventh consecutive appearance in the last 16 after negotiating their way through the first three rounds of the Copa del Rey.

After thrashing Jove Espanol 5-0 in their opening cup game, La Real were given a much tougher test in the second-round tie against fourth-tier Conquense, claiming a 1-0 extra-time victory to set up a meeting with Ponferradina.

The Basque side managed to make lighter work of their third-round clash, with Mikel Oyarzabal and Brais Mendez finding the net in a 2-0 victory in Real Sociedad's first outing of 2025.

La Real backed up that result with a 1-0 victory in Saturday's home league game against Villarreal, which came courtesy of Take Kubo's fourth goal of the season, moving them up to seventh place and to within two points of the top six.
