Real Madrid v Real Sociedad LIVE: Real Sociedad stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to seven matches

There are lots and lots of fouls happening now as this half comes to a close.

The ball falls to Valverde on the edge of the box who strikes it on the volley and it's well over.

Ceballos does well down the right and wins a Madrid corner late in the first half.

Rodrygo bursts forward on the counter, taking it past two players before feeding Vinicius but Sociedad have numbers back and are able to clear it.

Karim Benzema makes his way into the penalty area but commits a foul on Le Normand and Sociedad have a free kick.

Toni Kroos fires in a free kick but the official puts his flag up for offside.

That would have been a special Real Madrid goal. Vinicius Junior with some excellent work into Rodrygo who backheels it to Karim Benzema who fires on target but it's saved. That was some sensational team play.

Fede Valverde lays it off for Toni Kroos who runs onto the ball first time to smash it on target but Alex Remiro is able to palm it out for a corner.

Real Sociedad play it well in the final third, Elustondo takes it past Camavinga with ease but the move peters out. Positive play from La Real.

A very strange challenge! Oyarazabal and Toni Kroos get their laces tangled and both hit the deck.

Rodrygo drops the shoulder and tries to burst into the box but Munoz does well to stop him.

Eder Militao commits a foul on Take Kubo in the Real Sociedad box - that's how high Madrid pressed!

Real Madrid are having to be patient on the ball, with Sociedad working hard to push them back up the pitch.

Vinicius Junior once again, this time on the right, skips past two players with ease but his final ball is cut out. He is really enjoying himself out there.

Both Real Madrid and Real Sociedad are creating their best chances down their respective left-hand sides. Vinicius for Madrid and Kubo for Sociedad.

So close to the opening goal from Asier Illarramendi! He thumps it first time inside the area and it is just wide.

Real Madrid are very much on top now in this one, both Vini and Rodrygo look threatening every time they get on the ball in the final third.

SO CLOSE!
That was mesmerising from Vinicius Junior! He sticks it through Zubeldia's legs before aiming for the bottom corner but his effort is mere inches wide of the post!

Both sides are trying to feel one another out so far.
