The world’s most expensive player has endured a frustrating start to the season, being booed and whistled by home and away fans, with his anxiety to score a goal clear for all to see. His wayward shots, exaggerated complaints to the referee and occasional wild challenge had fans at the Anoeta howling until he struck a fierce freekick which ballooned off the wall and past a stranded Claudio Bravo after 75 minutes.
Argentina winger Angel Di Maria had put the visitors in front at the start of the second half only for Raul Tamudo to level soon after. Real moved on to seven points from three games, four ahead of Barcelona.
Despite dominating possession it was the hosts who created the clearer chances until Di Maria scored a great solo effort in the 51st minute. The lead only lasted 11 minutes, Tamudo arriving unmarked at the far post to bundle in a freekick and Real needed Ronaldo’s strike, which deflected off Pepe’s back in the wall, to restore the lead.
Real Sociedad refused to lie down and near the end an error from Sergio Ramos led to Iker Casillas having to save on his line, prompting a furious reaction from his coach Jose Mourinho who jumped from his seat and hurled a plastic bottle into the dugout in digust.
Earlier, financially-troubled Real Mallorca recorded their first win of the campaign beating Osasuna 2-0 at home. Gonzalo Castro set them on their way from the penalty spot after 25 minutes and Jonathan de Guzman ran the length of the pitch to secure the result in time added on.
