Sevilla climbed out of the relegation zone with a tight win over 19th place Cadiz at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan. Their coach Jorge Sampaoli was sent off for dissent in the second half with the game goalless.
Sevilla had chances but could not convert them, until Rakitic slotted home from the penalty spot with two minutes to go.
Cadiz defender Ivan Alejo conceded the spot kick and was sent off when he handled a cross falling into the path of Lucas Ocampos, who returned from a loan at Ajax earlier this week.
Thousands of Sevilla fans protested outside the stadium against the running of the club before the match, although moving a point clear of the drop zone will brighten the mood a little.
Earlier Espanyol earned a 1-0 win over Real Betis thanks to Martin Braithwaite's strike.
