Real Madrid Go Top With 4-1 Win Over Real Sociedad

Pre‑Benfica rotation set the tone for Vinicius’s two scrutinized penalties.

Overview

  • Real Madrid moved two points clear at the summit pending Barcelona’s trip to Girona on Monday.
  • Gonzalo Garcia struck after five minutes from an Alexander-Arnold cross, then Oyarzabal leveled from the spot after Huijsen fouled Yangel Herrera.
  • Federico Valverde put Madrid back in control with a top-corner finish before Vinicius won and converted two penalties to complete a brace.
  • The second penalty followed contact with Aramburu and was upheld without VAR intervention, and a late Vinicius tap-in was ruled offside.
  • Álvaro Arbeloa rotated with Mbappe held in reserve and key absences, delivering an eighth straight Liga win and his fifth in five while ending Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Bernabeu streak.
