Real Sociedad beat Betis 1-0 in the Friday night game, the result taking the Basque side above their opponents to ninth place pending the rest of the weekend fixtures. Honours were shared in a lively first half, Adán having to save from a couple of Willian José headers, and Joaquín firing a free kick just wide. Xabi Prieto lobbed a shot over the bar, and Alex Alegría and Rubén Castro both went close with half time approaching. With just over an hour on the clock however Carlos Vela got on the end of an Oyarzabal cross to poke the ball in on the far post, and Adán had to make important stops from Zurutuza and Oyarzabal to prevent the scoreline from increasing.
