Three more matches of the 22nd round of the Spanish "La Liga" took place on Sunday.
The Barcelona team failed to take advantage of the draw with the Madrid "Atletico" team, who had to admit defeat to Seville's "Real Betis" after a series of 18 unbeaten matches in the league.
The only and winning goal of these matches was scored in the second half - Sergio Canales converted a penalty from 11 meters, which was earned by Filipe Luis playing with his hand in the penalty area.
The Atletico team was not helped even by Alvaro Morata, who started the match and debuted in the team. It is interesting to note that this was Diego Simeone's first failure against "Real Betis".
Atletico not only did not reduce the gap from Barcelona, but also increased it to six points. If Madrid's "Real" team wins, they can equalize with "rojiblancos" by two points.
In other matches, "Villarreal" let the victory slip away against Barcelona's "Espanyol" at the end, and "Eibar" defeated "Girona" at home.
