Real Sporting started the season without signing any player. The club beat 1–0 debutants UD Logroñés through a last-minute goal of Uroš Đurđević. In the third round, Real Sporting became leader of the league after the wins at Cartagena, with the first goal of José Gragera as professional, and against Girona, with a brace of Đurđević.
