Málaga 2-5 Real Sociedad result, stats and report

Racing Santander came from behind to win 2-1 at Málaga, with second-half goals from Iker Luque and Yassir Zabiri completing the turnaround after Adam Aznou's second yellow card left the hosts chasing the game with ten men.

Athletic Club won the Basque derby 2-1 despite being outplayed for large stretches, with Iñaki Williams scoring early and Álex Berenguer converting a stoppage-time first-half penalty to settle a fiery San Mamés night.

Real Betis secured all three points at home against Málaga, but they made hard work of it after Adrián Niño Heredia pulled one back for the visitors in the second half. Two goals before the break, from Marc Bartra and Pablo Fornals, proved just enough.

Real Madrid arrive in San Sebastián having won all five of their last La Liga matches. Real Sociedad are no pushover at home, but the evidence says Madrid are in a different gear right now.

Villarreal host Real Sociedad on Sunday carrying a lengthy injury list and inconsistent form. The visitors arrive with four wins from their last five and absolutely no interest in being gracious guests.

Málaga arrive at this fixture without a win in five La Liga matches and with a defence that has conceded eleven goals in that stretch. Athletic Club will fancy their chances.
