Real Sociedad dominated long stretches of the game but struggled to take their chances. In the end, Endrick’s goal in the 19th minute proved to be decisive for Madrid. It came after a masterpiece by Jude Bellingham, who found the Brazilian striker with a long pass that was as beautiful as it was precise.
