Real Sociedad into Europa League round of 32

Real Sociedad are into the Europa League round of 32 after their 1-1 draw at Napoli.

Just when it looked like Real Sociedad's Europa League adventure was coming to an end, Willian Jose stepped up in the 92nd minute to rescue a 1-1 draw against Napoli and secure passage into the knockout stages.

La Real were missing key players Mikel Oyarzabal and David Silva, and went behind to a Piotr Zielinski strike just after the half hour. As time ticked on, and the result between AZ Alkmaar and Rijeka going against them, Willian Jose took advantage of a loose ball to send the Spanish bench wild.

To further cement Real Sociedad's place in the Europa League round of 32, Ivan Tomecak bagged a 90th minute winner for Rijeka, meaning they finished a point clear of AZ.
