End of match

End of match

  • 94'
    FT: RM 1-1 Sociedad! All over in Madrid and a draw is fair in my opinion. RM were on top in the first half, but Sociedad started the second period well and took the lead through a Portu header. Madrid picked up towards the end of the game and substitute Vinicius hit home to level in the closing stages. Both will disappointed to get a draw for different reasons, but it was the right result.
  • 93'
    Sociedad clear their lines, Mendy commits a foul on Oyarzabal and that will be that.
  • 93'
    Zubeldia concedes another corner here.
  • 91'
    Chance for Duro!! Nacho puts a ball in and Duro heads over! The ball touched a Sociedad man last.
  • 91'
    Three added minutes and I think that equaliser is deserved.

Goaaaaaal!
de Real Madrid en el 89'
  • 89'
    Vinicius levels!!! A lovely backheel by Valverde finds Vazquez, he cuts back for Vinicius in the middle and he hits home! It took a deflection off a Sociedad arm and that left with the GK with no chance.

    Vinicius puts one in the mixer and the ball goes out of play after beating everyone.

de Real Sociedad en el 55'
  • 55'
    Portu puts Sociedad ahead!! Sociedad attack down the far side, Monreal sends a great cross to Portu at the back post and his header across the GK goes in off the junction! Courtois had no chance.
  • 53'
    Oyarzabal goes in late on Casemiro and is penalised.
  • 52'
    Another corner for Sociedad as Casemiro slides in.

  • 47'
    Monreal's cross in is hooked behind by Nacho for a corner.
  • 46'
    RM get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: RM 0-0 Sociedad! Half-time at Di Stefano stadium and it's a fair score. The hosts have been the better side, but most of the chances came in a five minute spell. Mariano had the best opportunity when he headed against the bar and then Asensio's effort on the rebound was turned wide. Then Varane and Casemiro could have scored. Modric tested Remiro just before HT, but it hasn't been an RM siege. Sociedad have done little going forward. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+1: Portu looks to go forward down the far side and Nacho gets back to cover.
  • 45'
    One extra minute.
  • 44'
    Sociedad go forward through Isak and, just like the rest of their attacks, there is no end product. Isak's cross from this near side is to nobody.
  • 43'
    Remiro!!! Modric runs past Oyarzabal, he tries his look from distance and Remiro has to bat away!
  • 41'
    Very few fouls up to now and apart from a five minute spell from the hosts when they could have scored three times, there hasn't been many clear chances. RM definitely better though.
  • 40'
    Asensio is fouled and it's a free-kick to RM.
  • 39'
    Sociedad attack, Isak puts a cross in and Varane heads away. The Basques lacked the cutting edge there to finish off the move.
  • 36'
    RM get themselves another corner.
  • 35'
    Chance for Kroos!! Isco passes to Kroos and the German gets a corner.
  • 32'
    Mariano counters for RM down this near side, but he has no support and hits just wide of the goal.
  • 31'
    Isak's free-kick hits the wall and goes out for a corner.
  • 30'
    Isco brings down Isak and it's a free-kick to Sociedad 25 yards from goal.
  • 28'
    RM threaten again, but offside is called.
  • 27'
    Shots: 6-1. On target: 2-1.
  • 26'
    Casemiro again!! He gets the ball and shoots across the keeper and it goes just wide.
  • 25'
    Casemiro fires over from distance now!
  • 23'
    Varane!! His looping header from the corner is tipped over by Remiro.
  • 22'
    Off the bar by RM!!! Double chance!!! Modric and Vazquez combine, the ball goes to Mariano from two yards out, Mariano and Gorosabel get touches to it, the ball strikes the bar and then Asensio sees his strike deflected behind by Le Normand for a corner!
  • 19'
    Modric!!! Mendy, Isco and Modric combine and the Croatian sees his effort blocked by Le Normand.
  • 17'
    Sociedad go forward through Guevara, he picks out Gorosabel to his right and the shot is easily saved. That was a lovely run by Guevara.
  • 15'
    Asensio chips a pass into the area looking for Isco and Guevara clears the danger.
  • 13'
    Oyarzabal goes down this near side and his cross is knocked away.
  • 11'
    Replays show there is contact between Casemiro and Monreal, but you aren't going to get that overturned either way.
  • 10'
    Kroos' ball in is half-cleared, Casemiro sees a shot blocked and then RM win a corner seconds later.
  • 9'
    Free-kick to the home side here.
  • 6'
    Sociedad attack, Monreal and Oyarzabal play a one-two in the box and Monreal goes down in the box. Ref says no pen and he's right. Casemiro doesn't do anything.
  • 4'
    Oyarzabal looks to pass to Isak and Kroos cuts out the pass.
  • 2'
    Modric and Vazquez combine, but Sociedad get back and keep them out of the box.
