Mbappe hat-trick fires Real Madrid pass Sociedad

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid secured a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad in La Liga, marking Jose Mourinho’s first home match as coach at the Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham also found the net, while Jude Bellingham provided two assists for the star trio. Mourinho deployed the same lineup that won narrowly against Espanyol in his inaugural match, and the star-studded team exploited their opportunities.

Vinicius opened the scoring after a blocked shot by Alex Remiro, and Remiro saved low from Mbappe’s initial effort. Sergio Gomez’s volley was saved by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Just before halftime, Federico Valverde set up Mbappe with a clever touch, and the French forward netted his first goal of the season. Despite conceding an equalizer, Mbappe sealed the win with a neat move involving Valverde and Bellingham, and Vinicius tapped in the assist. Real Madrid’s third goal came from Vinicius again, who credited Bellingham for his chance.
