Real Madrid stormed back from international duty with a 2-0 La Liga win away at Real Sociedad.
Los Blancos wrapped up their first four games of the league campaign with an unbeaten streak and they were forced to battle on the road in San Sebastian.
With chances at a premium for the visitors early on, they were forced to hold on, as La Real hit the woodwork twice before the break.
However, the game turned on two refereeing calls after the restart, as Vinicius Junior stepped up to score from the penalty spot
