What They're Saying
Real Sociedad manager David Moyes (via Inside Spanish Football): "We've had a special talent in Carlos [Vela] tonight [Saturday]. Without a doubt, he was a player that made the difference throughout and had a great game [against Elche]. His performance was decisive and its helped us get the win here."
Real Sociedad midfielder Sergio Canales (via Inside Spanish Football): "I have played at Oviedo's ground and I know that it's a tough stadium to visi. They have great fans and it's a nice stadium to play in, so we need to be fully focused right from the first minute. Oviedo are going to be just as motivated as us. As I say, it's game which is an opportunity for us to improve our away form."
