Real Sociedad advanced to La Liga Santander after beating Real Betis 3-0 at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. Cristian Portu, Mikel Oyarzabal and Adnan Januzaj entered the adjustment sheet in Seville while the team of Imanol Alguacil won impressively.
Although the locals controlled much of the possession, it was the Royal that took credit for the most productive openings of the first half. Willian José wasted the clearest of the occasions, dragging his shot into the side net after being discovered through David Silva.
That’s until Oyarzabal escaped on a left wing and passed to Portu, who slid the ball past Claudio Bravo to give visitors the upper hand at halftime.
After Betis had an offside-ruled purpose and claimed a penalty denied through the referee for a tug at Antonio Sanabria, the Real was kicked when Marc Bartra hit Alexander Isak at the other end.
Oyarzabal went 12 yards to double the merit of the Basque aspect before Januzaj added a third purpose in the final stages, firing at the ceiling from a closed angle.
The victory takes those of Imanol to the most sensible of La Liga Santander after six matches played, ahead of Villarreal for difference of purpose in this first stage.
