Real Betis failed to take a giant step closer to finishing in La Liga’s extra Champions League spot after slumping to a draw in Donostia-San Sebastian. Goals either side of half time from Antony and Ez Abde had Manuel Pellegrini’s side in a comfortable position, but late goals from Orri Oskarrson and Mikel Oyarzabal ensured a point for Real Sociedad, who will have to settle for a place in the Europa League as they can no longer finish in the top 5.
