The first goal that AFC Bournemouth ever scored in Europe could be heard out on the Bay of Biscay.
A tradition from Real Sociedad’s old Atotxa ground, recovered at Anoeta in 2009, dictates that a single firework is set off every time the visitors score while two are lit when the home team do; that way those out to sea know the score.
After a first half, Bournemouth had to hang on, sometimes, in the second, Djordje Petrovic coming to their rescue with two saves from Orri Óskarsson in the final minutes.
A lovely shift of the body from Evanilson started it, the Brazilian receiving and releasing Adrien Truffert, who was sprinting up the left.
Petrovic had to fly to make a save from Beñat Turrientes by his left-hand post on 56 minutes and almost at once after Real Sociedad pulled one back.
