VALENCIA: With three goals 10 minutes apart late in the second half, Real Soci­edad defeated Levante 3-1 in La Liga on Friday to end a four-match winless streak.

Chema Rodriguez put the hosts ahead less than five minutes into the match in Valencia, but Sociedad rallied with goals by Theo Hernandez in the 73rd minute, Juanmi in the 77th and Mikel Oyarzabal in the 83rd.

The win, Sociedad’s first since the eighth round, moved the Basque Country club to ninth in the standings ahead of the weekend’s matches.

Levante, who haven’t lost in six matches in all competitions, stayed seventh.
