Real Madrid ‘s away trip was extremely difficult despite having almost the strongest squad in this match. Real Madrid was the team that had the first dangerous chance when Mbappe tried to dribble the ball into the penalty area and then fired a powerful shot, but was blocked by goalkeeper Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad) in the 19th minute.

Real Sociedad then responded with a coherent attack in the 28th minute and Luka Sucic fired a shot from outside the box that left goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois frozen. But the post saved Real Madrid.

Exactly 6 minutes later, Real Sociedad had another dangerous counter-attack and Sheraldo Becker dribbled the ball and fired a shot into the penalty area, leaving Thibaut Courtois standing still once again, but… the crossbar denied the home team a goal.

The first half ended with a lucky score of 0-0 for Real Madrid and at the beginning of the second half the post saved them again, when Luka Sucic’s shot hit the post and bounced out.

After three escapes, Real Madrid finally opened the scoring 1-0 from the penalty spot by Vinicius in the 57th minute. That was the situation where Sergio Gomez let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area. Despite his strong protest, the referee still upheld the decision.

With the goal to relieve the psychological pressure, everything became easier for Real Madrid. In the 67th minute, they had another penalty after Jon Aramburu fouled Vinicius in the box. This time Mbappe was given the chance and he successfully kicked the ball to seal the 2-0 victory.

With this result, Real Madrid temporarily rose to 2nd place with 11 points, 1 point behind the leading team Barcelona. But Barcelona still played 1 less match.
