Real Betis beat Osasuna to go third in LaLiga

On Sunday, Real Betis secured a dominant 5-2 home victory over Osasuna, propelling them to third place in LaLiga with 19 points after eight games. Playmaker Isco scored twice, once from the penalty spot in the 10th minute and again in the second half. Abde Ezzalzouli added a second goal before halftime, making it 3-0. However, Betis faced a brief scare when Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia scored for Osasuna in quick succession, bringing the score to 3-2.

Isco then restored their lead with a goal from a loose ball in the box, and Jose Antonio Morante came off the bench to score a dramatic late winner, finishing with a point in his LaLiga debut. The win leaves Real Betis just five points behind leaders Barcelona and one ahead of Real Madrid. Earlier, Real Sociedad held off a Deportivo La Coruna comeback to win 3-2, while Elche drew 1-1 with Celta Vigo.

In the evening's late game, Valencia held Racing Santander to a 2-2 draw, improving their position to 19th on five points. Osasuna, currently in the drop zone, found themselves among a group of eight teams all on eight points.
