Fran Escriba, the Elche manager, has turned his focus to their remaining matches as he reflected on their defeat to Atletico.
"The way I lose leaves me just as bad," Escriba said.
"We had the option, the team conceded much less than in the first one, they generate little for Atlético, but we had some option.
"The path is very clear in many other games. We must give merit to Atlético, but we lacked a little more than tranquility to have the ball and breathe."
The last meeting between Sociedad and Elche in a league match was on 26 September 2020.
Sociedad emerged 3-0 winners over Elche in a match which was played at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
