Munir El Haddadi opened the scoring for the home side with a flicked header in the 27th minute.

Giovani Lo Celso equalized for Betis 10 minutes into the second half after a cross from the left, but just four minutes later Pablo Sarabia restored Sevilla's lead following a counter-attack and it was 3-1 in the 65th minute after Fran Vazquez slammed home a thunderbolt from the edge of the Betis penalty area.

There was more drama to come when Cristian Tello scored a direct free kick to make it 3-2 with just seven minutes left to play, but although Betis laid siege to the Sevilla goal in the closing minutes they were unable to find an equalizer.

Earlier in the day Wu Lei played 63 minutes as Espanyol beat Alaves 2-1 thanks to a 19th minute goal from Adria Pedrosa and a Victor Laguardia own goal which put the home side 2-0 up before Jonathan Calleri gave Alaves hope with a 56th minute strike.
