With ex-Benfica in the mix, drama aplenty in Real Sociedad v Real Madrid | OneFootball

With the first international break for national teams over, the main European leagues have already resumed, and La Liga was no exception. Yesterday afternoon, September 13, Real Madrid, featuring Álvaro Carreras, went to Real Sociedad’s ground and defeated the Basque team 2-1. The former number 3 of the Eagles was not the only ex-Benfica player on the field.

On one side was the young Spanish full-back, whose replacement signed by Benfica is taking his first steps, while on the home team’s side, Gonçalo Guedes started up front for Real Sociedad. However, neither the Portuguese player nor Carreras played the full 90 minutes.

In a match full of emotions, Xabi Alonso’s team started at full throttle and in the 2nd minute saw Arda Guler shake the opponent’s net, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Ten minutes later, it was Mbappé’s turn to try his luck, and the French striker succeeded, making it 1-0 for Los Merengues.

However, controversy and protests were not lacking. Still in the first 45 minutes, Dean Huijsen received a straight red card in the 32nd minute for fouling Oyarzabal, who was about to go one-on-one with Courtois. Nevertheless, Los Merengues argued that Eder Militão was still tracking the play.

Reduced to 10 men, Real Madrid, through Mbappé, still managed to extend their lead before halftime, right at the 44th minute. In the second half, the home team was stronger, pinning Los Blancos back, but the best they could do was reduce the deficit with a goal from Oyarzabal in the 56th minute. With this win, Real Madrid remains at the top, 100% victorious.
