Real Sociedad took control of their Copa del Rey semifinal tie with ⁠a 1-0 first-leg ⁠win at Athletic Bilbao as Benat Turrientes struck in the second half in the Basque derby on Wednesday.

The clash between the long-time rivals ⁠was finely balanced in the first half, but the visitors were the more composed of the two sides and are well-placed ahead of the return leg ⁠at San Sebastian’s Anoeta on March 4.
