History was made in a flash at La Cartuja! In a stunning start to the Copa del Rey final, Real Sociedad shattered the deadlock against Atletico Madrid with the fastest goal ever scored in the tournament's final—a breathtaking header that sent their fans into a frenzy after just 15 seconds.

The record-breaking moment came from a perfect combination. Mikel Oyarzabal delivered a pinpoint cross into the box, and Ander Barrenetxea rose to meet it with a powerful header that flew past a helpless Juan Musso in the Atletico goal. This lightning strike eclipsed the previous record set by Raul Tamudo in the 2006 final, instantly writing Barrenetxea's name into Copa del Rey lore.

For Atletico Madrid, known for their resilient and structured defense under Diego Simeone, conceding so early is a nightmare scenario. It completely upends the tactical script and puts immense pressure on Los Colchoneros to chase the game from the opening whistle. For Real Sociedad, this dream start provides a massive psychological boost as they seek to lift the famous trophy.

With the scoreboard reading 1-0 almost from the kick-off, the stage is set for a dramatic and intense battle. Can Atletico Madrid mount a characteristic comeback, or will Real Sociedad's historic start propel them all the way to glory? The final has just begun, and it's already unforgettable.
