Real Sociedad stay level with fourth placed Villarreal after they won 0-2 at Granada on Saturday. Honours were shared in the first half, Carlos Vela putting an early chance wide and Kravets and Samper testing Rulli at the other end. However some ten minutes in to the second half Jon Bautista headed in a Granero cross, and soon afterwards Juanmi fired home the second from a Carlos Vela centre. Ochoa had to save from Illarramendi and Vela after that, but the locals finally woke up near the end, Ponce and Pereira both failing to convert late chances. Another defeat for the Andalusians though, and they go in to the winter break further down in the drop zone.
