Real Madrid held by Real Sociedad

MADRID: Real Madrid’s chances of chasing down La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid were dealt a blow on Monday as they needed a late Vinicius Jr equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad. It could have been worse for Zinedine Zidane’s side, with Vinicius’ finish in the 89th minute preventing what would have been a damaging defeat after a weekend in which both Atletico and Barcelona had won.
