Real Betis came from behind to rescue a point against Granada, who played most of the second half without Ruben Vezo, dismissed for two bookable offences.

It was Alex Alegria who was the Betis hero, scoring in the 36th and 61st minutes to save the draw.
Granada had been fastest out of the blocks, with Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez opening the scoring in the 13th minute and Alberto Bueno making it 2-0 with a second for the visitors just after the half-hour.
But Granada couldn't deal with 23-year-old Alegria, playing in his first full season with the main team, as the Cacereno academy graduate opened his Betis account with his brace.
And in the end the visitors were happy with the point after seeing out the game with a man disadvantage.
The result moves Betis up into the top half, albeit temporarily, while Granada remain without a win from the opening four matches of the season.
