Real Sociedad 0-1 Real Madrid | HIGHLIGHTS | LaLiga 2023/24

Guler scored the winning goal on his first LaLiga start for Madrid as Los Blancos beat La Real 1-0 at the Reale Arena. The hosts dominated most of the first half against a heavily rotated Los Blancos side but only created an xG of 0.19 from their four shots. The visitors punished them, with Guler scoring with their first effort of the contest on the 29th minute, getting on the end of Carvajal's clever cutback to net his second goal of the season from close range. Kubo thought he had equalised soon after, but his leveller was disallowed after a VAR check, with Barrenetxea fouling Tchouameni on the edge of the box. La Real continued to push for an equaliser in the second half without success. Turrientes' first-time effort was saved by Kepa, with Oyarzabal scoring from close range before the flag went up for a clear offside. Madrid only created an xG of 0.47 and had just five shots, but Ancelotti will be delighted that he was able to rest some key stars for their Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern in midweek. As for La Real, the host Las Palmas in LaLiga. That's all, goodbye.
