Betis' European ambitions took another hit on Friday, with the Andalusians struggling to a 1-1 draw at home against Eibar.

Orellana opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the first half, and the home fans had even more reasons to be upset with the officiating, as Borja Iglesias had a goal ruled out, per La Liga lowdown:

The officials and the video assistant appeared to help them out after the break, however, when in-form Moron was awarded a goal, even though he appeared to be narrowly offside.

Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe had an explanation for the decision:

Gonzalo Escalante was sent off for a second bookable offence, but the hosts were unable to turn their advantage into three points.

Moron has now scored six goals in this year's La Liga campaign, tying Villarreal's Gerard Moreno at the top of the top-scorers' rankings.

This year's surprise package Granada will face their biggest test yet on Saturday, when they travel to the capital to take on Real. Los Blancos lead the standings but have not looked comfortable all season, and are coming off a draw against Belgian minnows Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League.

Former leaders Sevilla snapped a two-match losing streak in Week 7, but now face a major test at the Camp Nou. Barcelona have won three in a row across all competitions, but like Real, have shown plenty of weaknesses already.They scraped past Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek.
