An amazing match at the San Mamés stadium, Betis running out 3-5 victors over Athletic Bilbao to start the season in second place pending the rest of the day one games. There were protests from the fans against Llorente and Javi Martínez, both of whom had been left out of the side pending their big money moves out of Spain, and the supporters were even less happy when the visitors raced in to a three goal lead at half time. One of the men who did the damage was ex Athletic midfielder Beñat (himself a leading candidate to replace the outgoing players), who crossed in for Rubén Castro to open the scoring in the sixth minute, and then drilled home the third himself after Molina had scored his team's second. The Basque pride was restored after the restart though, De Marcos running on to a through ball from half time substitute Aduríz to get one back, and San José making it all square with two more goals in ten minutes, both headers from Ibai Gómez corners. But then they ran out of steam, and Betis went back in front with goals from Pozuelo and Molina to tie up the three points. Not quite what the fans wanted, but in the end they appreciated the spirit that their players had showed.
