Real Madrid took an early lead through Endrick in the 19th minute which made me think they were going to score many more goals but surprisingly, they're yet to score again since then. The game is currently in the 75th minute with Real Madrid pressing for more goals. Real Sociedad is just one goal away from securing a draw in the first leg of this Copa Del Rey semi final tie but I don't think that's gonna happen because Real Madrid have been dominating the game and wouldn't want to concede a goal in the game.
Mbappe was out of the squad due to injury. Ancelotti kept Vini and ENdrick in his attack. Real Madrid won the match with the goal of young ENdrick. This young star of Madrid performed well. However, Madrid's overall performance was good in this match.
Real Sociedad was not a weak opponent. If Madrid's defense was weak, Real Madrid could not have won this match. Real Sociedad made several strong attacks. Madrid's goalkeeper Lunin played very well. Also, Tchouameni and Bellingham's performance was also very good in this match. I think we will see Barcelona and Madrid face each other in the final of the Copa del Rey. Another El Clasico is waiting for us.
No I think it is more about Real Sociedad's attack being weak as they have one of the worst attacks in La Liga. Real Madrid did a simple job here and if Real Sociedad would have had more force in their attacks and more cleverness, then this game could have ended in a different way. The statistics were about equal, but this is Real Madrid eventually. They score the goal they need and then barely put in any effort beyond what is needed to take this win with a single goal. All of the players have in the back of their heads what's coming in the next weeks, which is why some minimalism is going on here.
Toobad for Real Sociedad though because being 1-0 and having to turn this around in the Bernabeu seems unlikely, but still it is only one goal, which may keep their hopes afloat.
