In the much-anticipated La Liga match at the Stadio Benito Villamarín, Real Betis hosted Getafe, with both sides looking to take three points.

Getafe made their first substitution of the match in the 11th minute, replacing Enes Unal with Joaquin Latas. The visitors continued to push for the first goal, with Carles Alenha receiving a yellow card in the 29th minute and Getafe teammate Gabriel Alvarez a few moments later. Real Betis responded with a yellow card of their own as Aitor Ruibal was penalised in the 45th minute. After the half-time whistle, the teams remained in a 0-0 stalemate. The second half started with a clear desire on both sides to take the lead. Real Betis went forward, but their efforts were thwarted by the Getafe defence. Luis Felipe was given a yellow card in the 60th minute, adding to the list of penalties in the match. In the 64th minute, Getafe made the second substitution: Jaime Mata came on in place of Nemanja Maksimovic.
A minute later Carles Alenha was replaced by Jorge Iglesias. In the 69th minute, Getafe finally managed to achieve the success they had been waiting for. Osvaldo Alderete received a pass from his teammate and shot past the Real Betis goalkeeper, giving Getafe the lead. Real Betis immediately made three substitutions in an attempt to equalise. Andres Guardado was replaced by Joaquin, Willian José came on in place of Rodri and Juanmi replaced Borja Iglesias. However, Betis' efforts were hampered by a red card to Herman Pezzella in the 78th minute. Real Betis were reduced to ten men but continued to push for a goal. Sergio Canales came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute and Aitor Ruibal was replaced by Pierre Acuoca. In the remaining minutes of the game, Dario Soria and Getafe's Porto received yellow cards and Getafe made one last substitution as Francisco Anguileri replaced Porto.
