Real Madrid have also won their second LaLiga match of the season. At the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, Jos\u00e9 Mourinho’s side beat Real Sociedad 4-1, helped by a Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 hat-trick.<\/p>\n
Many clubs had already played their first LaLiga match of the new season over the weekend of 15 and 16 August. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, among others, were allowed to postpone that game until this week so players involved in the World Cup could get some extra rest.<\/p>\n
Just as he did last weekend, when Real Madrid snatched a 2-1 win away to Espanyol at the death, Denzel Dumfries started again on Wednesday evening. Mbapp\u00e9, Jude Bellingham and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior were also in the line-up.<\/p>\n
Before kick-off, World Cup winners Marc Cucurella of Real Madrid and Mikel Oyarzabal of Sociedad showed off the trophy won this summer at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. Then came a first half with chances at both ends.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9, Vin\u00edcius and Oyarzabal were all denied by the goalkeepers. Ten minutes before the break, Sergio G\u00f3mez then sent a fierce strike just wide. It looked set to stay goalless at half-time, but the game sparked into life in the final five minutes.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9 struck first to make it 1-0, sending his direct opponent the wrong way after a fine pass from Federico Valverde before smashing the ball into the net. A few minutes later, Luka Susic guided the ball, which had dropped kindly at his feet, into the far corner for 1-1.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9 missed a big chance to make it 2-1 after the break, but he soon found the net after combining with Bellingham. Real Madrid then pulled away. Vin\u00edcius tapped in for 3-1 after good work from Bellingham, and Mbapp\u00e9 chipped in the 4-1 to complete his hat-trick. Brahim D\u00edaz then had a 5-1 goal ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid have also won their second LaLiga match of the season.
