Zaldua, who came on as a sub himself, is replaced by Bautista.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Spanish Supercopa semi-final meeting between Real Sociedad and Barcelona from the Nuevo Arcangel.
The 37th Spanish Supercopa begins as the White and Blues welcome a rejuvenated Barcelona. After a promising start to the 2020-21 domestic campaign, the hosts now find themselves on a dismal run having picked up just one win from their last 12 matches in all competitions. In their most recent outing, they lost 3-2 away to Sevilla so maybe a two-week break to focus on cup competitions is just what they need.
It’s a completely different story for their opponents who enter the contest on an eight-game unbeaten run. Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann both bagged a brace in a 4-0 win over Granada last time out that moved La Blaugrana up to third in the La Liga standings - albeit they remain seven points behind Atletico Madrid having played two more games. However, the focus will be away from that for now as they look to progress into another final.
REAL SOCIEDAD (4-3-3): Alex Remiro; Andoni Gorosabel, Igor Zubeldia, Robin Le Normand, Nacho Monreal; Jon Guridi, Ander Guevara, Mikel Merino; Portu, Alexander Isak, Mikel Oyarzabal.
REAL SOCIEDAD SUBS: Joseba Zaldua, Jon Bautista, Aihen Munoz, Ander Barrenetxea, Willian Jose, Modibo Sagnan, Martin Zubimendi, Adnan Januzaj, Gaizka Ayesa.
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Oscar Mingueza, Ronald Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Pedri; Ousmane Dembele, Martin Braithwaite, Antoine Griezmann.
BARCELONA SUBS: Miralem Pjanic, Inaki Pena, Neto, Samuel Umtiti, Trincao, Junior Firpo, Riqui Puig, Ilaix Moriba, Sergino Dest.
With just a goal in it, the game is evenly poised. Prior to the breakthrough, Barcelona had looked vulnerable on the break so the hosts will remain optimistic they can get back into it. Conversely, Koeman will be hoping his side can push on and perhaps exploit the extra space they might be afforded to increase their advantage and progress without any late headaches. The second half is next!
We remain locked at 1-1 here after the first period of extra time. Both sides went close with Zaldua drawing a superb save from Ter Stegen and Dembele failing to convert a golden opportunity.
Oyarzabal's second-half penalty cancelled out De Jong's opener for Barcelona as the teams end the 90 minutes locked at 1-1. It was an end-to-end affair that could have gone either way so let's see if an extra 30 minutes can separate the sides.
It looks like we're going to settle this the old-fashioned way. Stay tuned. Penalties is next!
Bautista, who came on just for this, misses his penalty to give Barcelona the early advantage!
Barca's goalscorer returns the favour, hitting the post to keep the teams tied!
WHAT IS GOING ON? Oyarzabal and makes it three misses in a row. It has to be said, it's a great save from Ter Stegen!
Finally! Dembele steps up and puts Barcelona ahead with a cool finish!
Sociedad have left their shooting boots at home. It's another miss from Willian. 1-0 Barcelona!
Pjanic makes no mistake to make it 2-0 Barca.
MISS! With the chance to win the game, Griezmann skies his penalty over the bar!
Merino scores to keep his side in it at 2-1.
We're level! Januzaj slots it to bring the hosts back level. But Barcelona will have another chance to win it!
BARCELONA ARE THROUGH! Puig steps up and sends Remiro the wrong way to put his side into the final with a 3-2 penalty shoot-out win!
Anyway, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed following our live text coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
That stretches Barcelona's unbeaten run to nine although they looked well below their best. But it's a results business and they're through to face either Real Madrid or Athletic Bilbao in the final. Before that, both sides are in Copa del Rey action next with Real Socieded travelling to Cordoba and Barcelona away to Cornella.
