The Andalucians inflicted a first league defeat of the season on the Yellow Submarine thanks to Rodri\u2019s second half goal.<\/p>

Both sides looked to stamp their authority on the contest early on with Sergio Canales and Giovani Lo Celso both denied before the break.<\/p>\n

However, it was the hosts who eventually seized the impetus in the second period, as Rodri popped up inside the box to fire Los Verdiblancos in front.<\/p>

That opened the game up at both ends again before full time but a single goal was enough for the home side to clinch an important win.<\/p>\n

Both sides are now set for Europa League action in midweek, with Real Betis hosting Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad, and Villarreal travelling to Israel to face Hapoel Be\u2019er Sheva.<\/p>\n
