Real Madrid battled hard for the 2-0 triumph away at Real Sociedad on Saturday evening, and the greatest story of the day is the roused execution by Luka Jovic. The Serbian was straightforwardly associated with the two goals for Los Blancos, making himself the startling saint of the day after Karim Benzema needed some time off because of a physical issue.
The Real Sociedad match was one of the toughest fixtures they had in front of them before Christmas. Star forward Karim Benzema dropped to his knees on the pitch and could not play anymore leaving Carlo Ancelotti to find his replacement in Jovic who amazed the fans with a monstrous shot. Jovic scored the second goal himself after an aerobatic jumping header off a Casemiro pass and helped Real Madrid extend their lead at the top with 39 goals.
