Real Betis engineered a dramatic 2-1 victory over Villarreal at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, moving into third place in La Liga and equalizing with Real Madrid.

Betis equalized just four minutes later through Cucho Hernandez, who capitalized on a rebound after Peter Gulacsi's error.
Natan sealed the win with a close-range finish in the second half, following a corner that was headed towards goal by Hernandez. Betis' goalkeeper Gulacsi made several crucial saves, including stops from Nelson Deossa and Antony, but the hosts had several chances to extend their lead in the second half. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Betis now lead the table, with the former two enjoying five consecutive victories.
