FT: Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad! The final whistle blows and Real Madrid can reflect on an excellent performance on the whole. Real Sociedad opened the scoring early on, but the dynamic of the contest changed when Camavinga and Modric scored two stunners within four minutes.
GOAL for RM! The points are now in the bag for Real Madrid! Carvajal burst to the byline, had the presence of mind to wait for support, cut it back for Asensio who guided a finish into the back of the empty net.
GOAL for Real Madrid! That's easy for Benzema who steps up and sends Remiro the wrong way from the penalty spot. Is that game over? It's a long way back for Real Sociedad from this point.
73'
Just outside the box! Elustondo fouls Vinicius right on the edge of the box. An inch or two more and that would have been a penalty to Real Madrid. The VAR is going to take a look at this.
70'
DISALLOWED! The officials have used VAR to spot an offside by Rodrygo in the build-up to the goal and it's chalked off. It remains 2-1 to Real Madrid.
69'
GOAL for Real Madrid! It's a third goal for Real Madrid! Vinicius flicked a ball into the path of Benzema inside the box and the Frenchman was on hand to fire high into the roof of the Real Sociedad net. Will it stand, though? Was Rodrygo offside?
Joseba Zaldua has been shown a yellow card by the referee.
55'
Remiro saves! Casemiro cracks in a powerful freekick from distance and the Real Sociedad goalkeeper has to produce a strong save to prevent the Brazilian from finding the back of the net!
53'
Real Sociedad nearly get caught out again! Certainly not for the first time in the match, the away team lose the ball inside their own half. However, Benzema could only shoot wide of the target. There was a deflection.
51'
Rodrygo is enjoying a good game for Real Madrid. The Brazilian is dribbling past opponents at will and is also doing a good job of pressing high on La Real when they have the ball and forcing mistakes.
49'
What will the game plan be from Real Sociedad in this second period? They played very well for much of the first half, but fell victim to two pieces of brilliance by Camavinga and Modric. How will they respond?
46'
Jesus Gil blows the whistle to begin the second half.
45'
Real Sociedad double HT sub: David Silva is replaced by Nais Djouahra. Rafinha on for Pacheco.
45'
HT: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad! The end to that half was ridiculous. Real Sociedad looked to be fairly comfortable in the match. Then Camavinga and Modric produced two moments of magic to turn the contest on its head. The hosts have the lead at the break.
45'
1 minute added on!
44'
GOAL for Real Madrid! Another INCREDIBLE goal! That might be even better than the strike by Camavinga. Modric shifted the ball on to his left foot and lashed home a shot from 25 yards out! Two stunning strikes!
Goal disallowed
41'
DISALLOWED! Benzema has the ball in the back of the net after Real Madrid won the ball high up the pitch, but the French striker was just offside and his celebrations are cut short.
GOAL for Real Madrid! What a sensational strike from Camavinga! With nothing going on in front of the French midfielder, he takes aim from 25 yards out and finds the corner of the net! Big goal!
37'
Vinicius is doing his best to bring some energy and urgency to the Real Madrid attack. For the first time in the match, he beats his man and bursts to the byline, but his cut-back is easily cleared by the Real Sociedad defence.
34'
Real Madrid are now doing more to press high on Real Sociedad and force them into mistakes. The hosts have been too passive in the first half of this match. This is now more proactive.
30'
Alaba lines up the freekick on the edge of the box, but his effort clips the top of the Real Sociedad wall and the away team survive. That's Real Madrid's first effort on goal and it took them nearly half-an-hour to produce it!
28'
Nice chance for RM! Foul by Illarra on Camavinga on the edge of the box.
26'
Oyarzabal earns a corner for Real Sociedad.
25'
Foul by Illarra on Militao.
20'
That Real Sociedad is bad news for Real Madrid. They have struggled at times this season to break through teams employing a low defensive block and now La Real have something to protect!
GOAL for Real Sociedad! Mikel Oyarzabal makes no mistake with the penalty and opens the scoring for the match. Good leadup work by David Silva, he provided the opportuity and Mikel Oyarzabal slotted the goal near the left post.
9'
Dani Carvajal has given away a penalty!
7'
Oyarzabal has taken a knock. The Spanish international will surely be fine to continue, but Militao stepped on his foot as the pair challenged for the ball.
