Diego Simeone's Atletico were thrashed 4-0 by Benfica on Wednesday but took a first-minute lead in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad. Former Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez drilled home after Antoine Griezmann's cute backheel into his path.
"I knew it was going to be a difficult game. This stadium is always difficult. It's a team [Real Sociedad] that plays well and I'm very happy with the debut, having had minutes I tried to do my best to help my teammates, help the team and try to take points to Madrid," Lenglet said.
"There are a lot of games coming up, so you have to rest first and then work hard to prepare for what's coming," he added.
The Rojiblancos battled hard defensively to keep their advantage but Sucic looped a long-range effort over Jan Oblak in the 84th minute to secure the home side a point. Atletico's point took them third, level with Villarreal, but they trail leaders Barcelona by seven, while Real Sociedad are 15th.
