Barcelona and Real Madrid maintained their 100 per cent starts to the season as Sevilla ran riot at Athletic Bilbao.
Though the Spanish season may only be five games old, Barcelona and Real already appear to be gearing up for a mammoth title battle.
Reigning champions Barcelona kept up their perfect start to the campaign with a comfortable 2-0 success away to lowly Malaga.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who started the game on the bench due to concerns over his fitness, opened the scoring on 39 minutes after coming on for the injured Thierry Henry.
Former Manchester United defender Gerard Pique increased the lead just before the hour mark when he turned home Xavi's free-kick.
Malaga finished the game with 10 men when ex-Newcastle United flop Albert Luque was sent off for a foul on Daniel Alves.
Karim Benzema grabbed a second-half brace as Real moved on to 15 points after a 3-0 win at home to Tenerife.
Summer signing Benzema opened the scoring two minutes after half-time by heading home Xabi Alonso's corner and then doubled the lead on 58 minutes.
Tenerife hit the post through Omar Ramos before Kaka crashed home Real's third goal in the 77th minute.
Sevilla remain third in the standings after romping to a 4-0 win at Bilbao, whose season has come off the rails in the past week.
Renato's free-kick put Sevilla ahead after just five minutes and Alvaro Negredo increased the advantage on 21 minutes after being played in by Diego Capel.
Negredo then hit the bar before his parried attempt allowed fellow striker Fredi Kanoute to make it 3-0 at the end of the first half.
Bilbao had Fernando Amorebieta sent off for a second yellow card 10 minutes after half-time before Negredo set up Jesus Navas to score Sevilla's fourth goal 15 minutes from time.
Atletico Madrid are still awaiting a first win of the season, but grabbed an injury-time equaliser to draw 2-2 at Valencia.
Argentine ace Sergio Aguero put Atletico ahead after just seven minutes after he was played in by strike partner Diego Forlan.
But Valencia drew level on 25 minutes when Pablo scored and two minutes later David Silva fed David Villa to put the hosts ahead.
Villa hit the post in the second half before Atletico substitute Maxi Rodriguez fired home a low shot in the second mintute of stoppage-time.
