Real Sociedad B took a giant step toward safety with a crucial 2-1 victory over SD Huesca at El Alcoraz. The match started evenly, but the home side had early chances through Sergi Enrich, who failed to hit the target from quick attacks. The visitors grew into the game and took the lead with a superb header from Lander Astiazaran, who finished a cross from Ibai Aguirre. Gorka Carrera then hit the post, nearly doubling the advantage.
After the break, Huesca came out with renewed intensity. Coach José Luis Oltra sent on additional forwards, and the hosts gained momentum when Mikel Rodríguez was sent off for a late tackle. However, just as Huesca smelled blood, Real Sociedad B struck on the counterattack. Job Ochieng slotted home after a brilliant turn and pass from Arkaitz Mariezkurrena, sealing the win with three games remaining. Jordi Escobar pulled one back in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late.
