Continuation of this 3rd day of La Liga with Atlético de Madrid of Antoine Griezmann, substitute at kick-off, who faced Espanyol. Despite the entry of its French striker at half-time, the capital club did not manage to beat the promoted Catalan (0-0), due to a lack of offensive realism. It is already the second draw of the Colchoneros in this Liga, 4th, and who are 4 points behind Barça, the leader.

At the same time, Real Sociedad were surprised at home by their neighbours Alavés (2-1). Brais Mendez had opened the scoring after half an hour (30th) but the penalty converted by Villalibre just before the break (45th + 5) revived the Babazorros. The latter even ended up turning the situation around thanks to Martinez (77th). They take 8th place, four places ahead of their opponents of the evening.
