La Liga Roundup, Matchday 4
Matchday 4 of the 2025/26 La Liga season has come to an end, showcasing thrilling games, outstanding performances from players, and unexpected results. Here is the La Liga roundup for this round of games.
Sevilla 2-2 Elche
Recently promoted Elche are continuing to surprise everyone by remaining unbeaten at the start of the La Liga season, securing a 2-2 draw against Sevilla. However, the visitors were disappointed to concede an equalizer in the 85th minute. This 2-2 result marks the first time this century that Elche have gone unbeaten in their first four La Liga matches. Meanwhile, Sevilla’s poor home form continues, with just one league win in 12 games in 2025.
Getafe 2-0 Oviedo
In their inaugural La Liga encounter, Getafe and Real Oviedo faced off, with the home team emerging victorious 2-0 at the Estadio Coliseum. This result left the visitors having scored only one goal since their return to the top division. This victory marked Getafe’s third win in four matches this season.
Real Sociedad 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in La Liga at the Reale Arena, even while playing with just 10 men for almost an hour. With this win, Real Madrid continued their perfect run in La Liga, achieving four wins and conceding a goal for only the second time this season. On the other hand, Real Sociedad are still searching for their first win this season and have suffered back-to-back defeats.
Athletic Bilbao 0-1 Alaves
Deportivo Alavés ended a 20-year drought by securing an away win against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, handing the hosts their first loss of the season with a close 1-0 result due to a second-half own goal. Alavés demonstrated strong defensive organization to hold off their opponents, achieving their first clean sheet and away victory of the campaign. Despite the loss, Athletic drop to second place, just two points ahead of Alavés, who sit seventh.
Atletico Madrid 2-0 Villarreal
Atlético Madrid secured their first victory of the La Liga season by handing Villarreal their first league loss in 10 games, thanks to early goals in both halves that led to a 2-0 triumph for the home team at Estadio Metropolitano. The match ended disappointingly for Villarreal, who entered this round as the top scorers in La Liga but posed little threat in the second half. Villarreal have now gone six head-to-head matches without a win, while Atlético achieved their first shutout of the season with ease.
Celta Vigo 1-1 Girona
Borja Iglesias scored a penalty in injury time to prevent Girona from securing their first win of the season, as Celta Vigo managed to hold on for a 1-1 draw in La Liga at the Estadio de Balaídos. Although the result ends Girona’s run of five consecutive La Liga defeats, their inability to maintain the lead will be frustrating. On the other hand, Celta have now gone five matches without a victory against Girona, but they will be pleased that their efforts earned them a point. Nevertheless, they will be eager to claim all three points in an upcoming game.
Levante 2-2 Betis
Levante have finally scored their first points in LaLiga, but the Segunda Division champions let a two-goal advantage slip away, resulting in a 2-2 draw against Real Betis at the Estadio Ciutat de València. The visitors’ comeback prevented them from suffering a fourth defeat in five trips to this stadium.
Osasuna 2-0 Rayo Vallecano
Osasuna have secured six consecutive La Liga home victories for the first time in two decades, thanks to goals scored in each half during their 2-0 win against Rayo Vallecano. Rayo Vallecano have now failed to win in Pamplona since 2003. This marks Osasuna’s fifth straight clean sheet at home, allowing them to surpass their opponents and reach six points.
Barcelona 6-0 Valencia
Barcelona achieved a 6-0 win against Valencia in La Liga, extending their unbeaten run against them to 11 straight matches in Spain’s top league since January 2020. This triumph also improves Hansi Flick’s team’s impressive home league record in 2025 to 10 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Meanwhile, Corberán will be keen for a swift response from Los Che, who were limited to just two shots during the entire match.
Espanyol 3-2 Mallorca
Espanyol overcame the odds to secure their third consecutive home victory this season, defeating Mallorca 3-2 despite playing with only 10 men in an exciting game at the RCDE Stadium. Espanyol have now won their last four home head-to-head matches against Mallorca by a single-goal difference, while Mallorca’s recent loss leaves them in 19th place with just one point from four games this season.
