Kylian Mbappe delivered a masterclass performance to keep Real Madrid unbeaten in La Liga, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad on Saturday. The French forward scored his fourth goal of the season and provided a crucial assist, solidifying Madrid's position at the summit of the league table.
Mbappe struck early, capitalizing on a defensive error to slot home in the 12th minute. His clinical finish set the tone for a match that saw Madrid reduced to 10 men after Dean Huijsen's red card in the 32nd minute. Undeterred, Mbappe orchestrated a second goal before halftime, threading a pass to Arda Guler for a composed finish.
Real Sociedad fought back in the second half with a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty, but missed chances by Duje Caleta-Car and Sergio Gomez sealed their winless streak. The result leaves Xabi Alonso's side with a perfect 12 points from four matches, while Sociedad languishes in 14th place.
The match highlighted Mbappe's growing influence in Spanish football, with his goal-scoring prowess and creative vision proving decisive. Analysts suggest his form could reshape La Liga's title race as Madrid seeks to reclaim domestic dominance.
