Remiro Tambor Mayor | OneFootball

On a night when football felt like faith at Anoeta, Real Sociedad prevailed over Barcelona under the spell of the Tamborrada. Remiro stood tall as San Sebastián throbbed to drums and barrel staves.

The visitors controlled long spells, particularly before and just after the break, yet La Real supplied the soul and authority. According to AS, it felt like a collective exorcism as the city rallied behind a goal that seemed blessed.

Oyarzabal struck first to set a defiant resistance in motion. Rashford equalised, but within minutes Guedes lashed in a reply that restored belief.

Nine minutes of added time became a trial as an exhausted, man-light Real repelled a full siege. Remiro produced vital saves and the woodwork intervened. The man from Cascante earned this in a difficult season.

It was the triumph of grit over gloss. The drums of victory did not sound in Plaza de la Constitución, they roared from an Anoeta that feels unassailable when magic and faith meet on the pitch.
