Real Sociedad clinched their first home victory since November with a commanding 2-0 win over Cadiz in the Spanish league. The goals came from Mike Merino and Arsen Zakharyan in an impressive display.

Following a tough period without a home win since November 26, Real Sociedad showed grit and determination on the field. The win marked a significant milestone for the team.

Mike Merino continued his fine form by scoring the opening goal just 28 minutes into the game, claiming his third goal in as many matches. The early lead set the tone for Real Sociedad’s dominance.

Arsen Zakharyan, who came on as a substitute midway through the second half, made an instant impact by finding the back of the net just three minutes after his introduction. His goal sealed the victory and underlined Real Sociedad’s strength in depth.

Real Sociedad’s win propelled them to sixth place in La Liga, positioning them four points ahead of Real Betis and seven behind Athletic Bilbao. The victory also broke the streak of consecutive defeats for the team.

Despite the loss, Cadiz finds themselves third from the bottom in the league standings, two points behind Celta Vigo. The battle to avoid relegation continues for the struggling club.

With Granada in the second-to-last position and Almeria at the bottom of the table, the competition at the lower end of the standings remains intense.
