Real Betis defeats Feyenoord 1-0 in Champions League
Real Betis maintained a perfect start to their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Feyenoord at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville. The decisive moment arrived in the 59th minute when captain Isco converted a penalty following a handball by Feyenoord defender Jeremiah St. Juste.
Betis dominated much of the first half, with goalkeeper Álvaro Valles and defender St. Juste making key interventions to deny Feyenoord's attacking threats, including efforts from Troy Parrott and Gjivai Zechiël. Despite Feyenoord increasing their pressure in the second half and controlling more possession, they were unable to find an equalizer.
The win moves Manuel Pellegrini’s side to nine points from three matches, placing them fifth in the league phase standings and among the top performers in the competition. Feyenoord remains at three points following their second defeat of the European campaign.
