Three minutes later, Oscar Diaz struck from the edge of the area, only to be denied by a good save from Antonio Adan.

The home side had a chance to take the lead again on 17 minutes when Aleix Vidal was given the ball in the box, however, the forward could only send his effort wide of the post.

The home side's lead didn't last long, though, as Betis equalised on 60 minutes through Rodriguez, who fired into the bottom-right corner after being found by Juan Carlos.

Rodriguez then turned provider on 71 minutes when he found Salva Sevilla on the edge of the box, who then smashed it into the bottom right corner to make it 2-1.

Almeria began to push forward in a bid to turn the game around and climb out of the relegation zone with three points.

The home side grabbed an equaliser on 77 minutes through Vidal, who reacted quickly to get in front of the goalkeeper and finish well.
