Real Sociedad
Elche
Real Sociedad secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Elche in a match that was effectively decided in a dominant first half display. The hosts raced into a 2-0 lead through Luka Sucic's clinical counter-attacking finish and Mikel Oyarzabal's well-struck effort from outside the box, showcasing their quality in the final third. André Silva's response just before halftime gave Elche brief hope, but Real Sociedad's control never wavered, with substitute Orri Óskarsson sealing the points with a late strike. The result strengthens Real Sociedad's mid-table position while leaving Elche to reflect on missed opportunities, particularly Grady Diangana's early chance that could have changed the complexion of the match.
