Real Madrid cruised to victory over Real Sociedad on Sunday.
Gareth Bale made it five goals in four trips to San Sebastian as his early strike set Real Madrid on the way to a comfortable 3-0 victory away to Real Sociedad.
The Wales forward headed home with just over a minute gone and the second arrived in the 40th minute when young midfielder Marco Asensio applied a composed finish to a long ball forward.
Bale book-ended the night with virtually the last kick of the game as he took the ball around Geronimo Rulli to score a third.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane said, “It is always important to make a good start to a campaign. We played well and to start with a win in such a difficult stadium with three goals in our favour and having conceded none is the best approach. They are just three points though, and now we need to rest and prepare for the next game.
“I try to show that all of the players are key and if we achieve something important then it is teamwork that will allow us to achieve it. Picking my team can be a headache because they are all quality players. What pleases me is that they are all doing extremely well. We fight for every ball and every play. Seeing your team give hardly any chances away and keeping a clean sheet is the most pleasing thing for a coach."
