"Real Betis" club, which returned to the highest Spanish league only this year, became the sole leader of the tournament table after the IV round matches.
On Thursday evening, "Real Betis" won 4-3 at home after a tumultuous battle against "Zaragoza" and with their fourth consecutive victory managed to surpass the team "Valencia", which has 10 points.
In other matches, the Barcelona club "Espanyol" won a dramatic victory, defeating "Getafe" 1-0 at home.
After a dull first half, the visitors had to defend against the well-attacked hosts, but they did not succeed until the end: already in added time, veteran Walter Pandiani scored a goal.
