Real Betis suffered their first home defeat of the season Thursday evening as Deportivo La Coruna climbed to seventh in the La Liga standings following a 2-1 victory, their second consecutive away win.
The clash in Andalusia was the sole fixture to look out for Thursday after a packed week of Spanish drama, with Barcelona suffering their first defeat of the season at Celta Vigo a day earlier.
Deportivo La Coruna came to Seville having managed to avoid defeat at Real Betis in their past four visits, winning twice and drawing twice since the 1-0 defeat they suffered back in February 2006.
