Vinicius Junior is the one to congratulate for Real Madrid’s 2-0 away victory at Sociedad on Saturday night. He scored the opener from the spot and was taken down for the second, which Kylian Mbappe converted to make it 2-0.Not only the Brazilian deserves the credit for a hard-fought win, but he aslo did his thing with the rival’s crowd again – he silenced them celebrating the opener, and infuriated Sociedad supporters after elbowing their hero Takefusa Kubo.🌟 | PLAYER OF THE MATCHVinícius Júnior v Real Sociedad:👌 44 touches⚽️ 1 goal🎯 5 shots/1 on target (0.98 xG)🔭 3/3 accurate long balls⚔️ 6/9 duels won (=🥇)⚖️ 1 penalty won📈 8.0 Sofascore Rating (🥇)Perfect time for his highest-rated performance of the new season.… pic.twitter.com/mBriw8pAAb— Sofascore Football (@SofascoreINT) September 14, 2024 The home side had its chances against the Spanish giants, but luck was what they were missing tonight. They hit the crossbar twice (Sucic and Becker), and Courtois had a couple of excellent saves.Just eight points in the opening four La Liga rounds, along with pale performances, are not satisfying enough for Los Blancos and their boss Carlo Ancelotti, who’s got a lot of work ahead of him.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 5Friday Betis – Leganes 2-0 (0-0)/Ezzalzouli 74, Roque 86/Saturday Mallorca – Villarreal 1-2 (0-1)/Albiol 57 og – Costa 27, Perez 90+4/Espanyol – Alaves 3-2 (1-1)/Puado 21, 56, 63 pen – Conechny 35, Tenaglia 68/Sevilla – Getafe 1-0 (1-0)/Navas 23/Real Sociedad – Real Madrid 0-2 (0-0)/Vinicius Jr 58 pen, Mbappe 75/Sunday 15.00: (1.70) Celta (3.80) Valladolid (5.60)17.15: (4.10) Girona (3.70) Barcelona (1.85)19.30: (4.00) Las Palmas (3.50) Ath.Bilbao (2.05)22.00: (1.35) Atl.Madrid (4.80) Valencia (10.0)Monday 22.00: (2.25) Rayo Vallecano (3.20) Osasuna (3.70)***odds are subject to change***
