Friday Recap
It has been a tale of two halves for Sevilla this term as their season has collapsed after Christmas.
UEFA Champions League elimination has triggered a slump in fortunes, and the team that initially challenged Real Madrid and Barcelona at the summit collapsed in recent weeks.
Pablo Sarabia gave the hosts a precious lead four minutes before half-time as the winger finished.
Sevilla were certainly in charge as they dominated the ball and territory, but Sociedad showed great resolve after the interval and managed to puncture their opposition's defence.
Carlos Vela struck shortly after the hour mark, and Sevilla could not respond with a winner to claim the points.
La Liga's official Twitter feed highlighted the result:
Sevilla have remained a difficult prospect on home turf in Andalusia, but they have lost the verve that gave them a chance of championship glory earlier in the season.
Tonight will have been a huge disappointment for Sevillistas supporters who have suffered during a painful run in domestic action.
