Real Betis drew 0-0 with rivals Sevilla

On a tense night at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Los Verdiblancos were unable to break through while maintaining a six point lead within the Europa League positions. In the first 45 minutes, neither team produced many chances before Erik Lamela was excellently stopped and Juan Miranda was dismissed for a terrible tackle on Jesus Navas.

With a 2-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano in the relegation playoff, Espanyol achieved a critical victory in their fight to stay in the top flight. In Madrid, Sergi Darder gave the home team the lead early on. However, former striker Raul de Tomas tied the score from the spot, and Nico Melamed sealed the victory late on. Prior to a May 24 home match against Atletico Madrid in the middle of the week, Espanyol currently finishes the weekend one point off of 17th position.
