La Liga: Deportivo Alaves kicked off the new La Liga season with a 3-0 home win over Getafe. Nahuel Tenaglia opened the scoring for Alaves in the 73rd minute with a powerful header after he arrived unmarked to meet an assist from substitute Mariano Diaz.

Mariano added a second with a scorching strike in the 91st minute and then provided the assist for debutant Mikel Rodriguez to round off the scoring.

Alaves took advantage of Getafe being reduced to 10 men shortly before halftime when Kiko Femenia was shown a straight red for a high studs-up challenge.
