Betis came close to the European positions. The Verdiblancos defeated Mallorca 1-0 in Saint Mois for matchday 22 of La Liga and dropped to -1 on top-six and Real Sociedad, leaving the islanders +5 off the relegation places and awaiting matches of Cadiz and Granada.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men had a goal in the first quarter and took the lead at 45’+2′, when after stoppage time Altimira’s amazing shot made it 0-1.
In the replay, the Andalusians “slowed down” their pace, but maintained their dominance and were not threatened by their opponents.
