Arda Güler and Mbappe carry Real Madrid

In the fourth week of Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid faced Real Sociedad away. Arda Güler, a constant in the team since the arrival of manager Xabi Alonso, started again today. The purple-and-whites took a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute of the match. Mbappe, who made a move on a back-pass from the defense, quickly advanced to the opponents' penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area. In the 32nd minute, the home side went on the counterattack, but Oyarzabal was brought down by a challenge from Dean Huijsen. Referee Manzano issued a red card to Huijsen for being the last man. Arda Güler made his debut in the 44th minute. Arda Güler eluded Mbappe's left-footed pass to the front of goal and slotted the ball into the net from close range. The first half ended 2-0, and Sociedad narrowed the gap to 1-0 in the 56th minute with Oyarzabal scoring from a penalty. Sociedad, increasing their pressure in the final minutes, were unable to find an equalizer, and Real Madrid won 2-1.

Xabi Alonso won his fourth match in La Liga, increasing his points tally to 12.

National footballer Arda Güler was replaced by David Alaba in the 88th minute. The 20-year-old scored his second goal of the season.

Real Madrid will next host Marseille in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 16.
