Deportivo La Coruna and Real Sociedad shared the spoils in their opening game of the season after playing out a goalless draw at Riazor.
Real Sociedad edged the first half, creating marginally more chances. Big money summer signing Jonathas de Jesus attempted a bicycle kick that went several feet wide of goal, and then the Brazilian was put through one-on-one with goalkeeper German Lux, but the Argentinian came out quickly to prevent the striker chipping the ball over his head.
Deportivo striker Lucas Perez turned the ball into the net shortly after the hour mark following a well-worked set-piece routine, but he was correctly ruled offside.
Deportivo debutant Fede Cartabia gave the hosts a greater creative outlet despite only coming on for the remaining 17 minutes. He struck wide from distance and then hit a free-kick against the wall and the rebound into the side netting.
A few minutes earlier his compatriot Geronimo Rulli in the Real Sociedad goal had to react quickly to tip a free-kick from Faycal Fajr over the bar.
Deportivo will perhaps feel they should have taken advantage of their superior play in the second half, while David Moyes might have felt a sense of deja-vu, as he witnessed a repeat scoreline of his first game in charge of Real Sociedad last season.
