  "account": "Kylian Mbappe captained Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad in La Liga, scoring a hattrick at Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The match began with disjointed play before the team surged to a 4-1 triumph in the second half, marking their first win at the stadium this season. Following a 90th-minute win over Espanyol in their opening game and Barcelona's convincing five-goal win against Elche, Real Madrid needed to demonstrate form, and Mbappe delivered, netting three times - two in the second half to start his season's goal tally. Jose Mourinho utilized the same starting XI from the sluggish opener, and Mourinho's team started slowly, before Mbappe put the hosts ahead on 40 minutes with a powerful shot following a superb first touch to control Federico Valverde's pass. However, Real Madrid's defense let them down, allowing Luka Sucic to score after a deflected shot, putting the match at a draw at halftime. Mbappe, alongside Jude Bellingham, took charge of the game, with both exchanging passes that led to Mbappe slotting into the far corner to equalize. Bellingham's tenacity in the box culminated in Vinicius Jr.'s tap from two yards out. Mbappe completed the hattrick with 10 minutes remaining through a chipped finish from Vinicius' precise pass, securing Real Madrid's victory over Real Sociedad, who have yet to win at Madrid in seven years. With this win, Mbappe extended his record to six Real Madrid hat-tricks, including three in La Liga, and has scored 89 goals for Los Merengues, who now lead the La Liga table with six points from two matches. Real Madrid will host newly promoted Malaga in their next league match on Sunday.",
