Sociedad's early goal led by Take Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea tested Madrid's mettle, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Early Shock for Los Blancos

Real Sociedad, with their high-pressing game, struck early. A meticulously orchestrated move by former Madridista, Take Kubo, saw Ander Barrenetxea netting the ball after a rebound from Kepa Arrizabalaga’s exceptional save. The early setback challenged the hosts to reply with intensity. Kubo, however, wasn't done, as he thought he had scored another, but his effort was ruled out due to an offside infraction involving Mikel Oyarzabal.

This not only equalized the score but also set the pace for a dominant Madrid display in the second half. This vital goal marked a turning point, igniting the passion and drive in the Madrid side for the remainder of the match.

Joselu Seals the Deal

60 minutes in, a sublime cross from Fran Garcia found an unmarked Joselu, who with a powerful header turned the game on its head.
