Following a barren first half which Real Madrid dominated, a much improved Real Sociedad broke the deadlock via a Portu header from Nacho Monreal’s cross.

Zinedine Zidane refurbished his front three in the 61st minute, and one of the replacements paid off as Vinicius Jr finished off Lucas Vazquez’s cross in the 89th minute ensure the Los Blancos got something out of the game.
