Kylian Mbappé continues to make an impact at Real Madrid, scoring a crucial penalty in their 2-0 win against Real Sociedad on September 14, 2024. This La Liga victory helped Real Madrid close in on league leaders Barcelona, with both Mbappé and teammate Vinicius Junior netting from the spot.
Real Sociedad dominated large parts of the game, hitting the woodwork three times, but Madrid capitalized on their chances in the second half. Vinicius scored the opener in the 58th minute after a handball, and shortly after, Mbappé coolly converted a penalty following a foul on Vinicius.
The French striker has found his rhythm in La Liga after initially struggling to score. His brace against Real Betis earlier in September signaled the end of his drought, marking his first goals in Spain’s top league.
