MADRID, Sept. 15 -- FC Barcelona took advantage of two mistakes from Real Sociedad goalkeeper, Geronimo Rulli, who gifted second half goals to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele, to come back from a goal down and ruin Real Sociedad's first game in their renovated Anoeta Stadium.
Rulli was weak on two crosses into his area and was punished for both, while at the other end Ter Stegen made several good saves to maintain Barca's 100 percent start to the campaign.
Barca coach Ernesto Valverde rotated his side with a view to next week's Champions League debut with Sergio Busquets and Phillipe Coutinho out of the side, while Sergi Roberto played in midfield and there was a rare start for Rafinha.
The game began after an emotive homage to Real Sociedad forward Imanol Agirretxe, who was forced to retire earlier this season due to persistent injury problems.
It was clear from the start that Real Sociedad were looking to give their new-look ground the debut it deserved and Barca were struggling for control without Busquets steadying their central midfield.
Aritz Elustondo opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a left foot volley after a loose ball dropped nicely for him after a free kick for a foul committed by Sergi Roberto.
After the goal the home side looked very well organized and although Barca had the ball they struggled to create chances or find Leo Messi, who tried to drop to the right touchline in an attempt to find space.
