Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid: Goals and Highlights from 2016 La Liga Game

Real Madrid travelled to face Real Sociedad on Saturday, knowing a win would take them above Barcelona and Atletico Madrid—temporarily at least—in the Liga table.

They were made to work for it, but after 80 frustrating minutes, Gareth Bale leapt the highest and sent a fine header past Geronimo Rulli in the Sociedad goal to put Real ahead:

It is the second week in a row the Welshman has come to Real's rescue, following his brace in the 3-2 comeback win over Rayo Vallecano on April 23.

Final score: Real Sociedad 0-1 Real Madrid
