33'
Was that a penalty? Ramos believes that he should have been awarded a spot kick. The Real Madrid captain went down at the back post as he tried to get on the end of a cross.
32'
It's a sparse turnout at the Santiago Bernabeu for this game. Sure, it's the Spanish equivalent of Christmas Day, but this has been a trend for Real Madrid in recent home matches.
31'
Solari must be worried by what he has seen from his team in this first half. The intensity and tempo of their play has been low and Real Sociedad look comfortable in the lead.
30'
Casemiro dithered! The Real Madrid mifielder was quick to win the ball in the centre of the pitch, but he took too long to get the shot away and that allowed Moreno to make the block.
29'
28'
Real Sociedad look quite comfortable with things at the moment. Real Madrid are peppering their penalty area with crosses, but the visiting team's defenders are repelling them.
27'
Casemiro has been really poor in this first half. The Brazilian spent a long time on the sidelines injured and this basis it seems that he hasn't quite returned to match sharpness.
26'
That was a dangerous position for Real Sociedad and they didn't make the most of the opportunity in the end. Januzaj's cross is cleared when he should have picked out a teammate.
25'
24'
Vazquez stumbles! A nice little flick from Vinicius sets Vazquez bursting into the Real Sociedad box, but the winger stumbles over his own feet at just the wrong moment.
23'
Good save! That was a decent effort from Modric. The Croatian took aim from about 20 yards out, it came through bodies, but Rulli was equal to it, making the save to deny Modric.
22'
Not playing like world champions right now...
20'
Of all people, it's Courtois who tries to up the tempo of Real Madrid's play. He rolled the ball out quickly from a corner kick and gestured to his teammates to get forward with pace!
19'
It's almost as if there is a lack of enthusiasm around the Real Madrid team. Have they given up on La Liga this season? Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are setting the pace at the top.
18'
17'
Vinicius gives Real Madrid someone to play on the shoulder of the last defender, and so far that is giving Real Sociedad something to think about. He looks dangerous early on.
16'
Chance for Vinicius! The Brazilian teenager is played in on goal, he attempts to dink a finish over Rulli, but the Real Sociedad goalkeeper comes off his line to push the shot away.
15'
That's another mistake from Marcelo, who has a cross-field pass cut out, and that prompts a round of whistling from the home supporters inside the Santiago Bernabeu.
14'
13'
The problem for Real Madrid is that with Bale injured they don't really have a vertical threat. The Welshman gives them the ability to carry the ball up the pitch in a matter of seconds.
