Primera Liga reports

Brief reports of the first round of matches in the Primera Liga:

Played on Tuesday:

SEVILLA 4 LEVANTE 0

Sevilla followed their brilliant 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the European Super Cup on Friday with another stunning win featuring a hat-trick from former youth team player Kepa.

Mali striker Frederic Kanoute opened the scoring by firing home at the far post in the eighth minute, Kepa added a second before the half hour and then made it 3-0 soon after the break.

Kepa got his third two minutes from time to wrap up the most emphatic victory of the first round of matches for Juande Ramos's side.

Played on Monday:

CELTA VIGO 2 BARCELONA 3

Barca looked to be suffering the after-effects of their 3-0 mauling at the hands of Sevilla in the European Super Cup when they fell behind to a Fernando Baiano goal just before halftime.

They fought back after the break and goals from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi put them 2-1 up but Celta refused to wilt and equalised five minutes later when Gustavo Lopez fired home.

Celta midfielder Iriney was sent off three minutes from time for a second booking and Barca substitute Eidur Gudjohnsen then volleyed home a spectacular winner less than a minute later.

Played on Sunday:

ATHLETIC BILBAO 1 REAL SOCIEDAD 1

Sociedad ended their five-season losing streak at San Mames after midfielder Mikel Aranburu fired a Xabi Prieto cross into the roof of the net to score an 87th-minute equaliser.

Bilbao had taken the lead in controversial circumstances when striker Aritz Aduriz scored from the spot after the referee awarded a fiercely contested penalty 11 minutes from halftime.

Television replays showed that it had been Aduriz who had handled the ball and not a Real Sociedad defender.

DEPORTIVO CORUNA 3 REAL ZARAGOZA 2

Depor came back from an early strike from Zaragoza striker Diego Milito to take a 2-1 lead with a close-range goal by Juan Rodriguez and a Sergio penalty.

Zaragoza were reduced to 10 men when Juanfran picked up a second booking 20 minutes from time and Depor striker Angel Arizmendi took advantage to slide in unmarked at the far post and make it 3-1 soon after.

Brazilian striker Ewerthon made for an exciting finish when he snapped home Zaragoza's second but Depor held out for a memorable win.

ESPANYOL 0 GIMNASTIC TARRAGONA 1

Gimnastic celebrated their return to the top flight after a 56-year absence with three points at Montjuic.

Former Mallorca midfielder Alejandro Campano grabbed the winner six minutes after the break when he controlled a clever lofted pass from Abel Buades and steered the ball past keeper Carlos Kameni.

OSASUNA 0 GETAFE 2

Getafe completed a miserable week for Osasuna who missed out on a place in the Champions League when they lost to Hamburg SV on the away goals rule on Tuesday.

Swiss midfielder Fabio Celestini put Bernd Schuster's side in front early in the second half when he squeezed a dipping shot past keeper Ricardo and new boy Nacho rifled home to make it 2-0 12 minutes later.

RACING SANTANDER 0 ATLETICO MADRID 1

Atletico have spent over 40 million euros on new recruits during the close season but it was club talisman Fernando Torres who secured this win when he netted at the second attempt in the 12th minute.

New signing Yourkas Seitaridis had a debut to forget when he was sent off just before the break for a reckless tackle from behind on Racing midfielder Felipe Melo.

REAL MADRID 0 VILLARREAL 0

A disappointing start for Fabio Capello's new-look Real Madrid who were jeered off the pitch by their own fans at the final whistle.

With new boys Fabio Cannavaro, Emerson and Mahamadou Diarra on parade there was plenty of muscle in midfield and defence but Real looked short of ideas up front and the club's other new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy made little impact.

RECREATIVO HUELVA 1 REAL MALLORCA 1

Mallorca looked to have won the game when Venezuelan striker Juan Arango smashed in a spectacular volley from a fine cross from Bosko Jankovic four minutes from time.

But Recreativo, back in the top flight for only the third time in their history, scrambled a last-gasp equaliser when midfielder Santi Cazorla's fierce shot spun off the hands of keeper Toni Prats and into the net deep into injury time.

Played Saturday:

VALENCIA 2 REAL BETIS 1

Striker Fernando Morientes celebrated his return to the Primera Liga when he smashed in from 15 metres after some great work by former Arsenal midfielder Edu to put Valencia ahead after 33 minutes.

Betis forward Xisco equalised against his old side early in the second half but centre-back Raul Albiol secured victory for Valencia when he clipped in after a corner eight minutes later.
