The likes of Antoine Griezmann, Yannick Carrasco and Kevin Gameiro cut frustrated figures in the latter stages of first, as the sides went into the break all square.
After a quiet start to the half, Betis broke the deadlock in the 57th minute courtesy of a superb strike from Dani Ceballos, who beat Oblak with a powerful volley from 25-yards out.
