"And it was 3-1 in the 31st minute, with Federico Valverde sending a trademark strike from distance into the top-right corner, following a simple lay-off from Alvaro Carreras. Garcia passed up a massive chance to make it 4-1 just before half-time, but Madrid did have further breathing room when Vinicius won and converted another penalty in the first 67 seconds of the second half - with Aramburu again the guilty party for La Real."

And Vinicius kept his cool from the spot on both occasions, becoming only the second player on record to win and score two or more penalties in the same LaL"
Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-1, moving temporarily to the top of LaLiga. Gonzalo Garcia opened the scoring in the fifth minute from a Trent Alexander-Arnold delivery. Real Sociedad levelled through Mikel Oyarzabal's penalty after Dean Huijsen conceded. Jon Aramburu then fouled Vinicius in the area, allowing Vinicius Junior to convert a penalty and restore Madrid's lead. Federico Valverde scored a long-range third, and Vinicius won and converted a second penalty early in the second half. Kylian Mbappe started on the bench, Garcia missed a late chance, and Madrid have now won 13 LaLiga penalties this season.
