Real Sociedad returned to winning ways to climb back into the top four in LaLiga. After back-to-back defeats had dented their good start to the season, the Basque side needed to avoid any slip-ups against struggling Real Betis, and they did just that, winning 3-1. Willian Jose put Sociedad ahead in the 36th minute and Portu extended the lead early in the second half. Sociedad sit one point behind third-place Granada, two adrift of Real Madrid and three behind leaders Barcelona. Lisandro Magallan put Alaves ahead five minutes into the second half and they withstood pressure to secure the points eight minutes from time through Lucas Perez.
