The draw leaves Real in third place, level on points with second-placed Barcelona
but with a four-goal difference, while Bilbao remain fourth, 11 points
further back.
Ruben Castro fired Real Betis to their first win since September with a late
double strike.
The 2-0 success against Espanyol meant new head coach Gabriel Calderon’s first
home match in charge was one to remember, and allowed Betis to see a glimmer
of light through the relegation trap door.
Betis have looked doomed to the drop, having become increasingly marooned at
the foot of the table while their winless stretch has continued.
They are still floundering eight points adrift of Almeria in 17th place, but
Argentinian Calderon will see it as a start.
After four barren months, Betis needed something to cling to and star forward
Ruben gave them it, netting in the 71st and 89th minutes.
Elche moved four points clear of danger after earning a narrow but deserved
1-0 win at home to fellow strugglers Almeria.
A fortuitous goal from Cristian Herrera after 59 minutes was all it took for
Fran Escriba’s side to take all three points, although they had to endure a
nervy few minutes of injury time after Damian Suarez was sent off in the
90th minute for picking up two yellow cards.
The result means Almeria replace Elche as the team occupying the final spot
above the drop zone, while the Alicante side move up to 15th in the table.
