Sociedad had all to the left for them as chances spark out the red light denying them the lead after hitting the woodwork three times – twice in the first half and once in the second.
Keeper Thibaut Courtois could only watch as Luka Susic’s powerful strike from the edge of the box rattled the crossbar in the 25th minute.
Jude BellinghamEngland international star maintained calmness on the sidelines after injuring his calf before the international break, although back for training.
Madrid are unbeaten after five league matches but remain a point behind leaders Barcelona despite having played a game more.
