Real Madrid 4-4 Real Sociedad: Match Summary<\/h2>\n

Real Madrid had a decent start at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, with Endrick and Vinicius Junior getting early sights at goal. Alex Remiro made a fine save to keep Vinicius from extending Los Blancos’ advantage.<\/p>\n

Having weathered the early storm, Real Sociedad landed a body blow in the 16th minute. Pablo Marin brought Ander Barrenetxea into play with a cheeky flick. The left-winger then zipped into the box and sent a powerful strike through Andriy Lunin’s legs and into the back of the net, bringing the tie back level.<\/p>\n

At the half-hour mark, Real Madrid claimed their advantage back, with the Brazilian connection between Vinicius Jr. and Endrick paying dividends. The No. 7 sent his countryman through on goal with a fine outside-the-boot pass, and the youngster applied a dinked finish to beat Remiro.<\/p>\n

A Frantic End to the 90<\/h3>\n

The game truly came alive in the final quarter of regulation time, with Real Madrid and Real Sociedad scoring five goals in the last 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

David Alaba found the back of his own net in the 72nd minute after making an unfortunate contact with Pablo Marin’s low cross. Eight minutes later, Mikel Oyarzabal fired Sociedad ahead on aggregate. His shot from inside the box took a deflection off Alaba before beating Andriy Lunin.<\/p>\n

Madrid, however, were in no mood to go down without a fight. Just two minutes later, Jude Bellingham made it 3-2 on the night with a thumping volley from inside the box. In the 86th minute, Aurelien Tchouameni score his first goal of the 2024-25 season, putting Los Blancos back ahead on aggregate. The Frenchman’s header seemed destined to be the final act of the game until Oyarzabal nodded home from a free kick in the third minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n
