Sociedad blanks Getafe to open season
Print Edition
Carlos Vela scored one goal and set up another on Saturday as Real Sociedad picked up where it left off last season by outclassing Getafe 2-0 with its exquisite flowing attack to inaugurate the Spanish league at Anoeta Stadium.
The Mexico forward netted the first goal of the 2013-14 season from a pass by Gonzalo “Chori” Castro in the 42nd minute, and then assisted Haris Seferovic for the new signing to get a deserved goal in the 70th.
Later, Ernesto Valverde began his second stint as the coach of Athletic Bilbao with a 2-1 win at Valladolid, while Valencia marked coach Miroslav Djukic’s first game in charge with a 1-0 victory over visiting Malaga.
Sociedad showed no signs of the transition from former manager Philippe Montanier to promoted assistant Jagoba Arrasate as it maintained its passing style that last season earned it a playoff for the Champions League group phase beginning tomorrow at Lyon.
“It was important to start off on the right foot,” said Arrasate. “This reaffirms that this team knows how to compete. Without a doubt it gives us confidence. We know the game on Tuesday will be difficult but we are excited to play what will be a historic game for Real Sociedad.”
La Liga champion Barcelona was starting out at home to Levante yesterday when Real Madrid was hosting Real Betis.
