THAT'S ALL FROM ME
Right, thanks for joining me. An action-packed game but ultimately a Real Madrid win. If you missed any of the action, here's my full report
WHAT IT MEANS
Real Madrid go back to the summit of the La Liga table, two points ahead of Barcelona, who've won four times and drawn once so far this season
FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 2-1 REAL SOCIEDAD
Nowhere near the drama of the first half, and Madrid very much doing things the hard way, but they maintain their 100% start to the season with a fifth victory in five attempts. Real Sociedad meanwhile lose for the first time in 2023/24
YELLOW CARD
Alaba picks up a booking for a foul on Sadiq

ADDED TIME
We've had four minutes added on, by the way
BRILLIANT SAVE DENIES BELLINGHAM
Substitute Brahim Diaz gets down the right and crosses into the middle, where a horizontal Bellingham meets the ball with a diving header which is magnificently saved by Remiro
CHO VOLLEYS OVER
A powerful strike from the substitute, but it misses the target from inside the area
TWO MORE REAL MADRID SUBS
Brahim Diaz and Lucas Vazquez replace Rodrygo and Valverde
VALVERDE COMES CLOSE
Lovely play from Kroos, who pulls the ball back to Valverde near the penalty spot. The midfielder doesn't have quite the same accuracy as he did earlier in the half, with a low shot deflected wide
CAN SOCIEDAD FIND AN EQUALISER
After all those attacking substitutes, Real Sociedad are trying to find some kind of come back, but it's not coming at the moment. Carlo Ancelotti's side look comfortable
TRIPLE REAL SOCIEDAD SUB
Here we go then; the cavalry has been called for. Barrenetxea, Mendez and Oyarzabal are off; Momo Cho, Umar Sadiq and Arsen Zakharayan come on
On
A. Zakharyan
Off
B. Méndez
KEPA ALERT TO THE DANGER
The goalkeeper comes off his line to expertly punch clear when Barrenetxea was lurking
BELLINGHAM SHOOTS
The England international has a go from the edge of the area, but it lacks power and is a very comfortable save
TRAORE BOOKED
He gets a bit of the ball, but also brings down Rodrygo. Yellow card.
