The second half couldn't have started any worse for Real Sociedad, who were reduced to 10 men after Mikel Oyarzabal’s mindless sliding tackle earned him a straight red card. Without their captain, Sociedad were facing a difficult task against Unai Emery's side. With the numeric advantage, Villarreal took control of proceedings - maintaining possession and pushing for the winner. Eventually, the Yellow Submarine were rewarded for their efforts, with Moreno once again heading home from the corner in the 69th minute.
Sociedad had a golden chance to snatch a point late on through Sorloth but were instead punished after Moreno broke away and squared neatly for substitute Samuel Chukwueze to slam into the net and complete a 3-1 win for the visitors.
