Real Madrid overcame a sluggish performance to secure a 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad, thanks to penalties from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. Despite struggling in the first half, the star duo's clinical finishing ensured Madrid earned all three points in this La Liga encounter.
In a challenging match at Anoeta, Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad, thanks to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, who both converted penalties. The team struggled in the first half, with Sociedad coming close to scoring multiple times. However, the game turned after the break when Vinicius won a penalty following a handball, which he confidently converted to give Madrid the lead. He later earned a second penalty after being fouled in the box, allowing Mbappe to double the advantage and secure the win.
Despite the victory, Real Madrid’s performance raised concerns. Thibaut Courtois managed a solid game in goal, although he faced some challenges. The defense, featuring Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, and Ferland Mendy, had moments of struggle but ultimately kept a clean sheet. In midfield, Federico Valverde showed glimpses of quality but lacked consistency, while Luka Modric, at 39, battled fatigue toward the end of the match. The star attacking duo of Mbappe and Vinicius Jr emerged as the heroes, ensuring Madrid left with all three points. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will need to address the team's overall performance as they prepare for upcoming matches in La Liga and the Champions League.
