During the first half of the match, there were no notable actions, nor were there any goal-scoring chances, which caused the match to be classified as one of the most bland Basque derbies in recent times. The lack of football and intensity in the game allowed neither team to stand out over the other, which was reflected in the final score.
Both teams tried to seek victory in the second half, but the lack of precision in passing and the defensive solidity of both squads prevented the scoreboard from being opened. Despite the efforts of both teams, the match concluded without goals, leaving a bittersweet taste for both Real Sociedad and Athletic Club.
In the words of the coaches at the end of the match, the lack of creativity and effectiveness in attack by the teams was highlighted, as well as the defensive solidity they demonstrated throughout the 90 minutes.
