Real Sociedad B starts season with historic win
Real Sociedad B has kicked off the 2026-2027 LaLiga Hypermotion season with a 1-0 victory over CD Castellón, in a match that not only marked the start of professional football in Spain but also left several curiosities. The game, played in Zubieta, was the first of the season and was attended by nearly 2,000 spectators, including around 300 Castellón fans.
What made this match special?
The match was special for several reasons. First, Castellón debuted with their new burgundy kit, which features a central black stripe framed by two white lines. Additionally, the game was the earliest debut in Castellón's history, as they had never started a season so early, surpassing the previous year's start by two days.
Another curious detail is that this was Castellón's third consecutive away start in the Segunda División, breaking a sequence of two previous defeats. It was also Castellón's third visit to Sanse, with a history of one draw and one previous win.
How does this affect Real Sociedad B?
For Real Sociedad B, this victory is a good start to a season in which they aim to consolidate their position in the category. The team, which finished last season in 7th place in La Liga with 42 points (11W-9D-11L), seeks to improve their performance and fight for the top positions. However, the team had to face the match without five of its players, who were called up for the first team's friendly against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
What's next?
The next commitment for Real Sociedad B will be at home, where they will receive Sabadell, a newly promoted rival, next Sunday, August 23 at seven in the evening.
