Granada 0-3 Real Sociedad

Imanol Agirretxe scored a hat-trick as Real Sociedad recorded their first win of the season 3-0 at Granada on Tuesday evening.
The 28-year-old forward put the visitors ahead in the seventh minute when he got behind David Zurutuza's cross and struck the ball into the bottom-right corner of the net, out of reach of Granada goalkeeper Andres Fernandez.
La Real, coached by former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes, doubled their lead in the 32nd minute.
A misplaced back-pass from Granada's Brazilian defender Doria towards his goalkeeper was intercepted by Agirretxe, who struck from close range past a helpless Fernandez.
Granada had their only attempt on goal in the game in the 43rd minute, with Youssef El-Arabi's 30-yard effort saved by Real Sociedad goalkeeper Oier Olazabal.
La Real, who had clinched just two points from their opening four games, continued to play well after the restart.
Sergio Canales should have made it 3-0 before the hour but failed to beat Fernandez in a one-on-one.
Agirretxe squandered another chance for the visitors in the 62nd minute when a fast counter-attack saw the striker play a one-two with Carlos Vela, only to see his close-range effort go wide.
However, Agirretxe made no mistake 11 minutes from time when he surged into the area and got past his marker before drilling a right-footed shot past Fernandez to silence the crowd at the Los Carmenes stadium.
La Real have now clinched five points from five games, two points more than Granada.
