Isco fired home from the penalty spot in the 10th minute to open the scoring, and Abde Ezzalzouli added a second before the break after Betis won the ball high up the pitch and countered quickly.
Betis looked to be set for a comfortable afternoon when Diego Llorente added a third three minutes after halftime, but two quick goals for the visitors from Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia reduced the deficit to 3-2 in the 56th minute.
