Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: Full-time - Adebayor Scores First League Goal

Emmanuel Adebayor has lead the line well tonight and he has just got his first league goal for Real Madrid, a neat side-footed finish after a typically swift counter attack from the home side. It follows his first goal for the club in the midweek win over Atletico and surely puts him ahead of Karim Benzema in the pecking order. The big striker is settling into life at the Bernabeu rather well you’d have to say.

This win is the perfect manner of forgetting last weeks shock defeat at Osasuna and reduces the defecit behind Barcelona back to seven points. It wasn’t a vintage Real Madrid display, especially in defence, but they almost always have too much firepower for most teams, especially at home, and this was the case once again tonight. Cristiano put his recent poot form behind him with two strikes, having not scored in four, with Kaka marking his return to something like his best form with the opening goal after 8 minutes.

For Real Sociedad they will be left to rue a couple of chances after both of Real Madrids first two goals, Tamudo guilty of a shocking miss when the score at 1-0, but they never threatened Casillas goal too much and didnt show the kind of form that has made them the surprise package of the season so far. Xabi Prieto never got into the game while they sorely missed Joseba Llorentes presence upfront.
