Betis, Espanyol both lose at home

Real Betis and Espanyol both fell to surprise 2-1 home defeats in the second weekend of the 2012-13 Primera Division campaign.

Pepe Mel’s Beticos fell behind inside the first minute of play to Piti’s goal, before almost instantly equalising through Jorge Molina. An entertaining affair was settled midway through the second half thanks to teenager Leo Baptistao.

Meanwhile, Espanyol suffered a second consecutive defeat to begin the season with, as they went down 2-1 at home to Real Zaragoza. An 89th-minute strike from Helder Postiga settled the tie in the away sides favour and leaves Mauricio Pochettino’s men pointless after two rounds.
