Barça Atlètic 1–1 Real Sociedad B: Another point in the bag

The blaugranes pick up a point in a tight encounter, their sixth in a row

Another draw for Barça Atlètic as they were held 1-1 at home by Real Sociedad B in the Estadi Johan Cruyff in a rearranged game that was postponed earlier in the season. 

The visitors take the lead 

The game was a tight one early with Real Sociedad B one of the most in form side in the division at the moment. Barça had problems playing their natural game and it was not a surprise when the Basques took the lead on 37 minutes. Prior to the goal, Barça keeper Kochen had made an excellent save to deny the visitors but not long before half time, Mikel Goti chested home a cross from Iñaki Ruperez to give Real Sociedad the lead at half time. 

Yet another draw 

The game turned on its head in the second half. Both sides made changes and Real Sociedad were reduced to nine men when first Ruperez was shown a second yellow and then Peru Rodríguez was shown a straight red for bringing down Cedric in the box. Unai slotted home the resultant spot kick and Barça were level on 70 minutes. Barça went for the win with a two man advantage but the Basques held on for a point, the blaugranes sixth straight draw in the Primera Federación.
