Real Sociedad win Copa del Rey after beating Atletico Madrid on penalties

Because the match was settled on penalties, it suggests a tightly contested game with limited separation between the teams over open play. The main football consequence is trophy momentum for Sociedad and disappointment for Atletico in a high-stakes knockout setting.
