Barcelona came from behind to beat Atlético Madrid 2-1 in LaLiga on Nov. 8, with Fermín López scoring both goals for the visitors at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, ESPN reported.
The victory restored Barcelona's three-point lead at the top of the league. Atlético had taken the lead through Giuliano Simeone before López scored once in each half to turn the result around.
Simeone opened the scoring in the 10th minute, giving Atlético an advantage they held until the closing stages of the first half. López equalised in the 45th minute and scored the winner in the 66th.
López was Barcelona's top performer with two goals, according to ESPN's scoreboard, which recorded an attendance of 69,788 at Riyadh Air Metropolitano. His second goal completed the scoring in the highest-scoring of the five completed matches on Nov. 8.
Real Betis beat Elche 2-0 at Estadio Martínez Valero, with both goals coming in the final 10 minutes of normal time. Rodrigo Riquelme scored in the 81st minute before Marc Bartra added a header in the 89th.
The attendance at Elche was 26,884. Riquelme's opener broke the deadlock after 80 minutes without a goal, and Bartra's header eight minutes later gave Betis their final two-goal margin.
Villarreal also won 2-0, beating Getafe at Estadio de la Cerámica in front of 17,102 spectators. Tajon Buchanan scored in the 80th minute and Carlos Romero added the second in the first minute of second-half stoppage time.
Buchanan's goal put Villarreal ahead after neither side had scored in the first half. Romero's stoppage-time goal completed a result that matched Betis's winning margin against Elche, with both winners keeping their opponents scoreless.
Real Sociedad beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 at Reale Arena. Orri Óskarsson scored the only goal in the 67th minute, breaking a deadlock that had lasted through the first half and beyond the hour mark.
That left Real Sociedad with the narrowest winning margin among the three teams that won without conceding on the day's scoreboard. Their match produced one goal, compared with two apiece in the victories for Betis and Villarreal.
Celta Vigo and Levante drew 0-0 at Balaidos, where the attendance was 19,207. It was the only draw among the five completed matches and the only fixture in which neither team scored.
