The visitors were 2-0 up with less than 15 minutes to go thanks to goals by Imanol Agirretxe and Carlos Vela before substitute forward Jonathan Pereira went on for Betis and netted a pair of goals to apparently salvage a point for his team.

But there was time for some late drama as Martínez took possession, pushed forward and caught Betis goalkeeper Casto Espinosa off his line with a perfectly placed left-footed lob from just inside his own half.

"It was an amazing shot," said Sociedad coach Philippe Montanier, who added that Martínez regularly practices his long-distance shooting.

"(Espinosa) is a good goalkeeper, but we knew that he tends to play far off his line."

Betis coach Pepe Mel added: "The ending to the game was just cruel."
