Real Sociedad moved into the top six of the 2016-17 La Liga standings with a 2-0 win over Leganes on Friday.
Willian Jose and Xabi Prieto took care of the scoring, giving the Basques their fifth win of the season and third in their last four matches. Despite a shaky start, La Real's La Liga campaign seems to be taking off.
The rest of La Liga will be in action during the weekend and on Monday.
