Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid: Los Blancos survive controversial red card to go 5 points above Barcelona

Kylian Mbappe was the star of the show as Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad despite playing more than half the game with ten men.

Pulse Sports, in its pre-match analysis, stated that Los Blancos were overwhelming favourites for the tie, dominating the head-to-head. With an early lead in the first half, Real Madrid went about showing their dominance, but the tie got complicated after Dean Huijsen was sent off for fouling Mikel Oyarzabal.

Despite the numerical inferiority, Real Madrid doubled their advantage before halftime. La Reale halved the deficit early in the second-half from the penalty spot but could not get an equaliser, as Real Madrid won their fourth straight league game.
