Giving Manuel Pellegrini's Betis three straight games to start the league, it was Borja Iglesias' fourth goal of the year. German Pezzella, an Argentine defender, was sent in the 73rd minute for a foul on Manu Sanchez, but Betis still managed to win.
Despite Pellegrini's inability to sign multiple players due to the league's financial fair play rules, Betis, that finished fifth last season, has had a fantastic start. In their first away game in the league, Osasuna was aiming for a third straight victory as well. At home, they had defeated both Sevilla and Cadiz. And Betis won over Mallorca and Elche. In the 34th minute at Seville's Benito Villamarin Stadium, Iglesias scored the winning goal for Betis with a shot from inside the area. Real Betis had a great start to the league by defeating Osasuna.
