Betis ended the midweek round of games just above the drop zone, only ahead of Getafe thanks to a superior goal difference, after a 0-3 defeat at the hands of Osasuna. The Pamplona based side won this fixture 0-5 the season before, but neither side created much danger until Margairaz fired a long shot wide on the half hour mark.

Ziganda had made eight changes for this Wednesday night game, but even so they were able to win it comfortably with three goals in a twelve minute period around half time. Melli headed Puñal's free kick into his own net trying to clear just before the interval, and Dady got the second after connecting with Azpilicueta's cross soon after the restart. And Carlos Vela added the third after Dady set him up three minutes later.

Dady, Vela and Sola could have increased the lead after that, and the home side's first chances didn't come until later on, Ricardo López saving well from Samoza and then Juanito. Ten minutes from the end though they were left with ten men when Damià was sent off for a second bookable offence, and there ended any chance of a fight-back. Another defeat, and the local fans called for the head of majority shareholder Manuel Ruiz de Lopera and coach Héctor Cúper after the final whistle.
