Real Madrid Triumph Over Real Sociedad in La Liga Clash

Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad in La Liga, even while being reduced to ten players for nearly an hour. This result leaves Sociedad with just one win in their last 14 encounters against the Galacticos.

Match Summary

Los Blancos quickly aimed to establish dominance within the first two minutes; however, Kylian Mbappe’s assist to Arda Guler was ruled out for offside.

Early Action
Mbappe remained active and saw a strike saved after connecting with Dani Carvajal’s precise cross. He later capitalized on a defensive error by Mikel Goti, sprinting past Duje Caleta-Car to slot the ball past goalkeeper Alex Remiro with precision.

Mbappe’s eagerness was evident when he nearly hit the woodwork shortly afterward, but Real Sociedad’s Ander Barrenetxea responded by narrowly missing the target, hitting the side netting instead.

Real Madrid then demonstrated their threat with Eder Militao forcing Remiro into two remarkable saves.

Key Moments

The match took a turn in the 32nd minute when Dean Huijsen was shown a straight red card for a foul on Sociedad’s captain, Mikel Oyarzabal. This act of desperation put the hosts against the wall.

Second Half Highlights
Despite their handicap, Militao was instrumental in blocking a shot from Barrenetxea. Following a close call when Carvajal’s header struck the post, Guler extended Madrid’s lead before halftime, finishing coolly after a combination with Mbappe.

After the break, Sociedad seemed to regain momentum when a deflected effort from Pablo Marin rattled the post, only to be cleared by Militao.

The hosts finally found the scoresheet when Carvajal handled Barrenetxea’s cross, allowing Oyarzabal to convert a penalty, deceiving goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

As pressure mounted, Mbappe squandered a chance with an errant shot after a gallant run, yet Courtois was called into action again, expertly denying Oyarzabal before holding onto Caleta-Car’s header, allowing Real Madrid to maintain their unbeaten record, having conceded only twice this season.

For Real Sociedad, this match marked their continuity of disappointing results, remaining winless thus far.
