Third-place Real Madrid travelled to an out-of-form Real Betis on Sunday knowing that a win would leave them just two points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.
Betis entered the match having not scored in their last seven games in all competitions, but they took the lead in the seventh minute when Alvaro Cejudo curled one into the top corner.
Real Madrid levelled the scores in the 71st minute through Karim Benzema, but the visitors could not find a winner as they dropped points in Seville.
