Match originally postponed due to adverse weather conditions, and damage caused to the roof of the Riazor stadium by high winds.

Deportivo and Betis drew 1-1 in a match which was postponed from week 21 due to bad weather, the result taking both teams further away from the drop zone. Brasanac went close for the visitors a couple of times early on, and Mandi turned an Andone cross against his own upright later on in the first half. Visiting keeper Adán had to save from Juanfran and Çolak either side of half time, but Piccini fired the visitors in to the lead following a Rubén Pardo corner with twenty minutes to go. However with an away win seemingly on the cards the referee awarded the Galicians a hotly disputed penalty when Celso Borges fell under a challenge from Pezzella, and Borges himself stepped up to slot home the resulting spot kick.
