Real Sociedad Net Three Goals in Eight Minutes in 6-0 Rout of Lillestrom

Sergio Gomez and Sucic sparked the decisive surge

Sergio Gomez gave his side the lead in the 25th minute with a left-footed strike, then doubled the advantage with a right-footed finish two minutes later. Luka Sucic netted the third in the 33rd minute. Mikel Oyarzabal provided all three assists.

That eight-minute spell turned a contest that started evenly into a comfortable away display. Real pushed forward before Lillestrom could regroup at the back, and each goal came from a different route.

Marrero denied Olsen from the spot

Lillestrom were handed a penalty after the restart, offering a way back into the match. Thomas Lehne Olsen stepped up, but Unai Marrero saved his effort. Soon after, another home attempt hit the woodwork.

Those moments mattered despite the scoreline. A goal for the hosts could have lifted Lillestrom and pushed Real into a more cautious approach. Marrero’s save kept full command in Real’s hands.

Zakharyan completed the scoring spree

Orri Oskarsson netted the fourth goal in the 65th minute. Sucic took his tally to two in the 72nd, and substitute Arsen Zakharyan closed out the scoring with a strike from the edge of the box in the 80th minute.

The six-goal winning margin matched Real Sociedad’s largest European victory. Perhaps more significant, it was their first win after a defeat and a draw in the opening two rounds. The victory rested on the blistering first-half spell, Marrero’s penalty stop and clinical finishing from the bench. Real stayed disciplined once the substitutes arrived, so the scoreline reflected control across the whole game rather than a single spell of pressure.
