Kervin arriaga

UEFA Champions League: Real Betis secured fifth place in La Liga and a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League with a 2-1 home win over Elche, while Celta Vigo's hopes ended with a 3-2 defeat at home to a resurgent Levante.

Pablo Fornals was the standout performer for Betis, setting up Cucho Hernandez for the opening goal in the ninth minute before scoring the winner with a superb curling shot from outside the penalty area in the 68th.

Elche equalised through Hector Fort in the 41st minute, but their hopes of mounting another fightback suffered a major blow when Leo Petrot was sent off with a straight red card for a late challenge on Antony.
