Elche led 2-0 after the first half thanks to Fidel's penalty and Lucas Boye's strike. In the 57th minute, however, Lisandro Magellan received a red card and Betis quickly used the advantage in numbers. In the 65th minute, Borja Iglesias scored from the penalty spot and Juan Miranda equalized immediately afterwards.
Two minutes before the end, Iglesias could have scored a second time from another penalty kick, but goalkeeper Edgar Badia caught him. Betis finally got the win when Enzo Rocco played in the goal, was sent off and Willian José converted the penalty.
Thanks to the victory, the Anatolian team secured fifth place in the table, which guarantees direct promotion to the Europa League. Six points separate Betis from sixth Vallecano.
