Betis beat Osasuna as Real Sociedad survives Deportivo fightback in La Liga

Madrid, Oct 12 (UNI) Isco scored twice as Real Betis beat Osasuna 5-2 at home to move into third place in La Liga, five points behind leader Barcelona.
Isco opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the tenth minute after Osasuna defender Unai Santos conceded a foul, and Ez Abde doubled Betis' lead in the 31st minute following an assist
from Cucho Hernandez on Sunday.
Betis went 3-0 ahead three minutes after halftime when Ante Budimir's attempted clearance deflected off Diego Llorente and into the net, but quick goals from Budimir and former Betis forward Raul Garcia brought Osasuna back into contention.
Isco restored Betis' two-goal advantage with his second of the match before debutant Jose Antonio Morante completed the scoring in stoppage time.
Elsewhere, Valencia coach Javier Aguirre saw his side take the lead after just over a minute against Racing Santander, with Dani Raba scoring against the newly promoted side.
Racing equalized in the 32nd minute when Inigo Vicente set up Yassir Zabiri, and Ivan Martin put the hosts ahead two minutes after halftime.
However, young Valencia substitute David Otorbi struck in the 65th minute to earn his side a 2-2 draw.
Real Sociedad survived a dramatic second-half fightback to beat Deportivo La Coruna 3-2 at home despite finishing with ten men. Jon Martin headed Sociedad ahead from Carlos Soler's corner before Arsen Zakharyan doubled the lead in the 34th minute.
Goncalo Guedes made it 3-0 with a powerful left-footed finish after a run from the halfway line, but Deportivo refused to surrender.
Mario Soriano pulled a goal back in the 61st minute, and Sociedad's Pablo Marin was sent off four minutes later for denying Bil N'Songo a clear scoring opportunity.
Yeremay Hernandez converted the resulting penalty to reduce the deficit to 3-2, but Sociedad held on under intense pressure to secure all three points, according to Xinhua.
Elche and Celta Vigo opened Sunday's program with a goalless draw. On Saturday, Barcelona recorded its eighth consecutive league victory with a 3-0 win over Getafe. Anthony Gordon,
Gabriel Jesus and Jules Kounde scored for the league leader.
Atletico Madrid came from behind to beat Alaves 2-1 away, with Alejandro Grimaldo opening the scoring before Cristian Romero headed in a late winner.
Real Madrid edged Villarreal 1-0 thanks to a 62nd-minute goal from Yan Diomande. Vinicius Junior was later sent off following a VAR review for pulling an opponent's hair, having earlier seen a goal disallowed.
On Friday, Malaga drew 1-1 at home to Espanyol, while Saturday's match between Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club was suspended after home supporters threw objects onto the field in protest against club president Raul Martin Presa.
