Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo share a goalless draw at Anoeta

Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo played out a goalless draw at Anoeta, a fixture that had been moved forward on the calendar but still counts as part of matchday 6.

It was the kind of afternoon neither side could really use. Real Sociedad came in off back-to-back league defeats, to Real Madrid and then to Atlético Madrid, and needed a result to stop the slide. Celta arrived on a run of two draws and two losses of their own. A point apiece changed neither trajectory much.

Where it leaves them

Real Sociedad sit 15th with 4 points from five games — one win, one draw, three losses, and a goal difference of -6 that reflects how little they've scored (3) against how much they've conceded (9). Celta are two places further back in 17th, on 3 points from five, without a win all season: three draws and two defeats, for 2 goals scored and 5 conceded.

Both clubs are inside the bottom third of the table with a sixth of the season gone, and a draw at Anoeta was not the kind of result to change that. Real Sociedad's next task is finding a way to score again after four goalless spells in five matches; for Celta, it's simply finding a first win.
