Mbappé, Vini Jr. help Madrid beat Real Sociedad
Written by I Dig Sports
Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé converted second-half penalties to give the champions a hard-fought 2-0 win at Real Sociedad in LaLiga on Saturday.
It was a high-paced, entertaining affair in the Basque Country with both sides missing a string of chances, including three strikes off the woodwork by the home side.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 58th minute with Vinícius netting a penalty after a handball by midfielder Sergio Gomez before Mbappé secured the points by scoring his spot kick in the 75th after Vinícius was fouled.
Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid team remain second but now have 11 points, one behind Barcelona who visit fifth-placed Girona on Sunday.
