Overview
- Real Betis beat Osasuna 5-2 on Sunday at La Cartuja with veteran playmaker Isco scoring twice, including a penalty that opened the game.
- The victory gave Pellegrini's side their sixth league win from eight matches and moved them to third on 19 points, one ahead of Real Madrid and level with Atletico Madrid.
- Ezzalzouli doubled the lead before halftime, Diego Llorente added a third soon after the break, then Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia pulled Osasuna back to 3-2 before Isco and substitute Jose Antonio Morante sealed the final score.
- Betis are using La Cartuja as a temporary home while Benito Villamarín is renovated, a project reported to run until 2028 that will change matchday logistics and fan access for the season.
- The same matchday featured competitive drama elsewhere in LaLiga, with Real Sociedad beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-2 in a game marked by a red card and both teams finishing with 10 men, underlining the league's early volatility.
