Direction the beaches of the Spanish south coast and the Region of Murcia to follow the continuation of the 24th day of La Liga and a confrontation between Levante, bottom of the championship, and Real Betis, third at kick-off. A meeting of extremes, a priori unbalanced on paper, between the Granotes, beaten in their last two outings against Cadiz (0-2) and against Getafe (0-3) and strong with only one small victory this season, and the Verdiblancos, authors of four victories in their last five matches in all competitions. Carried by a sparkling Fekir in recent weeks, the Béticos relied once again on the former Lyonnais to open the scoring shortly before the quarter-hour mark (0-1, 14th).

Cutting edge offensively, Betis even quickly made the break through their defender Gonzalez (0-2, 29th) before killing almost all suspense on a new goal signed Carvalho (0-3, 42nd). Stunned but not resigned, the locals reacted in stride thanks to an achievement by Gomez (1-3, 43rd) and even began to dream when the Spanish striker offered himself a double after returning from the locker room (2-3, 47th ). But all this was without counting on the current vista of Fekir who signed a double to give air to his family (2-4, 49th). Dominated and outnumbered after the expulsion of Soldado (74th), Levante thus conceded a fourteenth defeat this season and remains, more than ever, last in La Liga. For its part, Betis, thanks to this new success, consolidates its third place.
