Showing once more his extraordinary stamina he powered into the six-yard box at the start of injury time and got his head to cross from substitute Brahim Diaz. His first attempt was blocked and he couldn&#8217;t quite poke the rebound home.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t matter with Madrid holding their 2-1 lead having gone behind in a first half dominated by a former Madrid player.<\/p>\n<p>Real Sociedad were ahead after just five minutes when Kubo skipped down the right and crossed for Ander Barrenetxea to score at the second attempt. His first effort was parried by Kepa Arrizabalaga but the rebound squirmed past him.<\/p>\n<p>Kubo then scored a cracker but the offside flag cut short the celebrations with Real Sociedad bodies offside and blocking Kepa\u2019s sight line.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/21\/75535375-0-image-a-2_1694983235400.jpg\" height=\"433\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Joselu netted Real Madrid&#8217;s winner against Real Sociedad as they maintained their perfect start to the LaLiga season<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/22\/75536113-12529287-image-a-19_1694985073459.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jude Bellingham played another 90 minutes for his new side and for the first time failed to score, though did come close<\/p>\n<p>Kubo was at it again just before half time when he crossed for Mikel Merino and only a fine save from Kepa prevented Real Sociedad doubling their lead.<\/p>\n<p>Joselu hit the bar at the other end for Madrid and Alex Remiro saved well from Rodrygo but Madrid \u2013 still missing the injured Vinicius \u2013 were struggling to break down the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Kubo finished off his first half spectacular with a nutmeg on Toni Kroos no less.
