Levante shocked Real Betis 3-0, while a projected top four clash ended in a draw as Atlético Madrid - Valencia ended 1-1. Huesca made history, earning their first top-division win in their existance. Meanwhile, Sevilla became the leaders, at least for the first week, while the big two got off to good wins.
Betis had been hyped as one of the teams to watch in La Liga, with respected coach Quique Setién in charge and a bevy of new transfers. Instead, they were trounced by a resilient Levante side, who continuously caught them on the break.
