Fifth placed Villarreal were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom club Betis on Sunday lunchtime, a result which left them six points behind fourth placed Athletic Bilbao. Tired but euphoric after their midweek win at Rubin Kazan (which sets up a next round tie with city neighbours Sevilla), the visitors held their own in a quiet first half, keepers Adán and Asenjo having to save from Moi Gómez and Leo Baptistao. With twenty minutes to go however referee Iglesias Villanueva awarded a hotly disputed penalty to the locals when Chica got a foot to the ball but also brought down Uche, Bruno stepping up to convert the spot kick. Eight minutes later though Uche was sent off after picking up a harsh second yellow card, and with five minutes left on the clock Rubén Castro headed the equalizer from Didac’s cross. That set up a frantic last few minutes, with the two keepers making important stops from Giovani and N’Diaye in injury time.
