In the match that started at midday at Balaidos, Celta Vigo overcame a two-goal deficit to win in a thrilling comeback. Real Betis had a fantastic first half as Diego Llorente's close-range header and Antony's first goal since signing from Manchester United completed the scoring.

But Celta stormed back in the second half as Fran Beltran's incredible goal cut the deficit, and goals from Javi Rodriguez and Williot Swedberg led to a historic comeback victory. At San Mames, Oihan Sancet stole the show as Athletic Club gained three more points in the battle for Champions League spots. The talismanic midfielder scored his third La Liga hat-trick against Girona thanks to a bad clearing by Paulo Gazzaniga, a close-range header, and a penalty kick following a foul by Miguel Gutierrez. With a valiant win in Gran Canaria, Villarreal has maintained its lead over Athletic Club in the battle for the top four.
