At 19:30, another round of matches of the 18th round took place in the Spanish "La Liga" championship.
Another season sensation was recorded at "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. Madrid's "Real" experienced failure against San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad," making mistakes from the start of the match and finishing the encounter in the tenth place.
On Thursday, the "whites" surrendered victory from their hands and started this match catastrophically - in the 3rd minute, a penalty kick was awarded to Thibaut Courtois' goal when Casemiro brought down the opponent in his penalty area.
Willian Jose did not miss this opportunity - a powerful strike from the Brazilian left no chances for the goalkeeper, and the guests gained an advantage.
Throughout the remaining time, "Real" tried to recover - Vinicius Junior played actively and posed a real threat to the opponents' defense, but the Basques defended themselves and marched into the break with a goal advantage.
In the second half, "Real Sociedad" again started excellently and had chances to score several goals, but "Real" avoided the second goal and later tried to attack themselves.
However, all plans in the second half were disrupted by Luco Vazquez's red card - the Spaniard received a second yellow card for a foul from behind, meaning that even the hosts facing difficulties had to play with ten men.
Even remaining without one player, "Real" did not raise the white flag. Vinicius continued to dominate with the ball and was very close to earning a penalty kick, but the referee was convinced that the goalkeeper played the ball, although the video replay did not show it. The referee decided not to use VAR review in this episode.
All hope of the hosts was crushed in the 83rd minute - the Basques found enough space in a quick attack, and Ruben Pardo scored the goal that secured the victory.
After the failure, "Real" dropped to fifth place and can now be as far as 10 points behind the leaders. For San Sebastian's team, this was the first victory after four consecutive failures.

"Real Madrid" 0 - 2 "Real Sociedad"
3' [0 - 1] W. Jose (penalty kick)
83' [0 - 2] R. Pardo
