Real Betis defeated FC Porto 3-2 in a UEFA Champions League group stage match held at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville. The match featured significant officiating scrutiny, with French referee Clément Turpin overseeing a game that included a disallowed goal for Porto due to a handball by Borja Sainz and a penalty awarded to Porto via VAR.

Betis took the lead through Abde Ezzalzouli in the 47th minute, followed by a goal from Gabri Veiga. Porto's performance was marked by the presence of Polish players Jakub Kiwior and Oskar Pietuszewski, while Jan Bednarek was absent due to suspension. Porto's manager Francesco Farioli had previously expressed concerns regarding the pitch conditions at La Cartuja.

Following the match, Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini noted the team's high level of ambition and form, while Farioli emphasized the difficulty of the fixture and the impact of squad absences.
