Real Betis came from behind to beat rival Sevilla 2-1 at home and win its first league derby since 2018.
Ruben Vargas put the visitors ahead in the 17th minute before Johnny Cardoso scored for Betis in the 25th and Cucho Hernández struck in first-half stoppage time.
Betis strengthened its hold on sixth place and a European qualification spot. Sevilla — which has lost two in a row — stayed 11th.
Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis has won four in a row in all competitions — and eight of its last 10 matches.
