This hasn't happened in over 70 years. Vinicius delivers a historic brace against Sociedad

Real Madrid confidently dispatched Real Sociedad, securing a 4-1 victory in their La Liga clash. The star of the show was Vinicius Junior, who achieved a feat no Los Blancos player had managed in more than seven decades.

The Brazilian won two penalties and coolly converted both spot-kicks himself, becoming the first Real Madrid player to do so in a single La Liga match since Molowny. The last time this happened was on October 14, 1951, against Valencia. That means 75 years have passed between these two historic moments.

Vinicius not only showed ice-cold composure from the spot, but was a constant menace for the Basque defense, consistently ramping up the pressure with his pace and dribbling. His intensity was a key factor in Real’s dominance throughout the match. Under Arbeloa, Vinicius has now racked up 6 goal involvements in seven matches.
