Carlos Soler levels for Real Sociedad with fierce strike at the Riyadh Air Metropolitan | OneFootball

Former Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler struck early to bring Real Sociedad level against Atlético Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitan, replying five minutes after Alexander Sørloth’s fourth-minute opener.

Superdeporte highlights the precision and power of the left-footed finish.

A rapid move down the flank carried the ball to the edge of the area, where Soler arrived from deep, controlled and, without hesitating, drove high towards the top corner.

The strike was crisp and well placed, beating the Atlético goalkeeper and thudding into the net. Soler celebrated with real anger as team-mates swarmed around him, sealing an immediate response to the hosts’ early blow.

The strike altered the tempo and briefly hushed the Metropolitano, underlining Soler’s knack for late runs from midfield that punish Atlético’s back line.
