Match report in news

  • 97'
    FT: Sociedad 1-2 Real Madrid! Finished 1-2 at the Anoeta in a game with plenty of talking points. RM got a dicey penalty which Ramos scored. Then Januzaj had a goal disallowed as Merino was deemed to obstructing Courtois. Benzema made it 0-2 seconds later when Sociedad wanted Benzema. Finally, Merino made it 1-2 but they couldn't get a leveller. That's all from us. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!

  • 96'
    Merino is carded for arguing.
  • 95'
    Modric is penalised for a foul. And a yellow, maybe for protesting as there was little there.
  • 94'
    Elustondo!!! He heads a Merino cross wide!! RM are hanging on now. This is poor by Zidane's men.
  • 91'
    Long punt forward by RM on the counter and then Mariano boots over from close range as if he were playing rugby.
  • 90'
    Sociedad the better team now and six added minutes.

    Vinicius attacks again down this near side and the pass across the box is dealt with Sociedad.
  • 74'
    Sociedad win a corner and RM clear.
  • 71'
    It was with his chest so no debate there. I think the penalty call and the disallowed goal are much more debatable. I don't think they are wrong decisions, but the 50:50 calls have gone RM's way.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 70'
    Benzema scores and Sociedad are furious shouting for a handball. Doesn't look like it, but VAR is checking. He gets the ball and turns before firing past Remiro.
Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 68'
    The corner is taken short then Januzaj's shot goes in the corner. Merino is an offside position and tries to get out of the way, but he obscures the GK's view. It's not a very clear obstruction, but he is slightly obscuring him.
  • 67'
    Casemiro is fouled in his own half and RM get a free-kick.
  • 65'
    Sociedad are attacking. but they are not able to break the Madrid defence down.

  • 48'
    Llorente is booked for the foul.
  • 48'
    Penalty to RM!!! Vinicius makes a sensational run after a run down the near side, Llorente pulls his shirt a bit and then Llorente makes him lose his footing as he tries to pull the trigger. Not a very clear pen, but won't be overturned.
  • 47'
    Good play again by Vinicius down the near side after a pass by Marcelo and his pass is underhit and cleared.
  • 46'
    RM get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Real Sociedad 0-0 Real Madrid! No goals in the first half at the Anoeta! RM have been on top, but haven't dominated. Vinicius has looked the sharpest for RM and had a couple of good chances while Benzema also had a clear cut opportunity. Courtois has had little to do at the other end. 0-0 fair at the break and back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    Two added minutes.
  • 43'
    Vinicius again!!! He's looking sharp tonight! He runs from the far side into the box, cuts inside and then stings the fingers of Remiro.
  • 41'
    Vinicius early on and then Benzema have had the only real chances up to now.
  • 40'
    It's taken short by Portu to Odegaard and it ends disappointingly.
  • 39'
    The Basques come again and Monreal gets the corner off James.
  • 36'
    Casemiro is penalised for obstruction on Oyarzabal.
  • 35'
    Vinicius makes a nice run down the left flank and then the ball goes to Casemiro and is long range shot goes along the ground. Simple for the goalie.
  • 33'
    Benzema!!! Sociedad lose the ball, Valverde heads towards goal and then passes to Benzema and his shot is well stopped by Remiro.
  • 32'
    Back underway!

Yellow card

a Real Sociedad
  • 28'
    Gorosabel has his name taken now after a late hit on Vinicius. Was a bad challenge as his boot was high, but Vinicius was offside. The officials missed that.
  • 27'
    Marcelo goes down in the box, but Oyarzabal doesn't do much wrong.
  • 27'
    Vinicius wins a corner off Gorosabel. Kroos' delivery is dealt with.
  • 25'
    Sociedad attack and Portu is flagged offside.
  • 22'
    Casemiro is booked for catching Merino in the face with his arm as he jumps for the ball. That's always given as a yellow in Spain. It comes with extra punishment as well. He won't be playing v Mallorca on Wednesday.
  • 21'
    RM attack, but nothing comes of the ball into the box.
  • 19'
    Another free-kick to RM! Odegaard brings down Casemiro. Not a bad foul, but it's a foul.

a Real Sociedad
  • 16'
    Zubeldia is booked for a high boot on Casemiro. It's a high boot, but I think that's harsh. An indirect free-kick would have been enough as Casemiro didn't have to take evasive action.
  • 15'
    Odegaard miscues a half-chance over the bar now from just outside the box.
  • 13'
    It's an open game so far and both teams attacking. Draw fair.
  • 12'
    Vinicius sprints into the box and Gorosabel shows his strength and does not let him pass. Vinicius goes down, but it's just good strength.
  • 11'
    That was interesting! Sociedad try a pass along the ground which nearly catches Zidane's men out.
  • 10'
    Ramos fouls Portu about 25 yards from goal. A bit soft if you ask me.
  • 7'
    Lovely run by Valverde in Sociedad's half which comes to nothing and then Isak tries to make a run at the other end, but Varane gets back.
  • 7'
    Portu sends in a dangerous looking ball and Courtois just about prevents the corner. RM better, but Sociedad also attacking.
  • 4'
    Casemiro is fouled by Merino and it's a free-kick for RM.
  • 2'
    What a chance for Vinicius!!! Casemiro plays a lovely pass for Valverde, he gives it to Vinicius and the Brazilian fires wide!
  • 1'
    Sociedad get us going from right to left! RM in green.

    Those out include Zaldua (suspended) and Januzaj.
  • PRVW
    Real Sociedad lost 2-0 at Alaves in their last game. The big news is that Isak starts up front instead of Willian Jose. In fact, there are several changes. Only Llorente, Zubeldia, Odegaard and Oyarzabal started against Alaves.
  • PRVW
    RM make three changes from the 3-0 win over Valencia. Hazard, Modric and Mendy drop out while James, Vinicius and Marcelo come in.
  • PRVW
    Xavier Estrada Fernandez is the referee for this one while Juan Martinez Munuera is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    6th v 1st. 47pts v 66pts. Real Sociedad are five points off the Champions League places and this is their game in hand while RM will go top with a win here after Barca's draw at Sevilla on Friday. Even though they would have the same number of points as Barca, RM have the better head to head record.
  • PRVW
    Real Madrid XI: Courtois (GK); Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal; Kroos, Casemiro, Valverde; Vinicius, Benzema and James.
  • PRVW
    Real Sociedad XI: Remiro (GK), Monreal, Le Normand, Llorente, Gorosabel; Oyarzabal, Zubeldia, Odegaard, Merino, Portu; Isak.
