Match Report
The hosts' number nine did the damage inside the opening half an hour as he notched a quickfire quadruple at Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
Sorloth broke the deadlock after just seven minutes with a superb volley from Pablo Barrios' deep cross, while drilling home his second goal from the edge of the box shortly afterwards.
The Swede completed his historic hat-trick in the 11th minute, firing into the roof of the net after Sociedad failed to deal with another cross from the right.
Sorloth made it four on the half-hour mark from Javi Galan's lay-off after a swift counter, while the crossbar denied him a fifth goal from a fierce volley shortly after the restart.
Substitute Angel Correa also went close with Alex Remiro denying him in stoppage time, but it only prevented the scoreline getting worse as Atleti eased to victory and another clean sheet.
