  "account": "Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-1 in La Liga, marking Jose Mourinho's first home match in charge of the Madrid club. The French forward, who is the league's top scorer for the past two seasons, was responsible for two of the goals. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham also found the back of the net, with Mbappe setting up Junior after being set up by Bellingham. Thibaut Courtois made a crucial save to deny Mbappe early on, and Sergio Gomez saw a volley hit the post. Despite conceding an equalizer, Madrid held on to secure a victory, with Mourinho expressing satisfaction with his team's performance.",
