Like many other big teams, Real Madrid showed signs of fatigue after the FIFA Days series. This, combined with the defense’s lack of concentration, caused them to concede a goal in the 5th minute.
Real Madrid made an impressive comeback in the second half.
Specifically, the white shirt defenders let Ander Barrenetxea slip in Real Sociedad’s face-slapping situation. After two shots, Barrenetxea gave the away team the lead.
Losing early, Real Madrid pressed forward to attack in search of an equalizer. They had up to 10 shots in the first half, but lacked the sharpness to equalize.
It wasn’t until after halftime that everything got back on track for the home team. Minute 46, starting from the return phase as set by his teammates, Federico Valverde fired a cannon shot at a distance of about 25 meters, hitting Real Sociedad’s net.
By the 60th minute, Real Madrid took the lead for the first time in the match. This time, it was Fran Garcia’s hanging ball and inside Joselu jumped high and headed the ball, not giving the opponent any chance to block.
Defeating the opponent with a score of 2-1, Real Madrid continued to reign at the top of the La Liga table with 5 wins. They are also the only La Liga team that can still maintain a streak of 5 consecutive wins.
Final round: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad
Scored: Barrenetxea 5′, Valverde 46′, Joselu 60′
