Mexican Vela on target as Sociedad sink Valladolid


BARCELONA (Reuters) - A first-half Carlos Vela strike gave Real Sociedad a 1-0 home win over Valladolid as they held on to sixth place in La Liga a point above Villarreal who beat struggling Getafe 1-0 away.

Inconsistent Sociedad are unlikely to match last season's feat of a Champions League place but their Mexico international Vela showed their quality in attack by lobbing goalkeeper Jaime Jimenez after a through ball from Ruben Pardoa after 23 minutes.
