Real Betis vs Sevilla delivered a high-voltage La Liga clash, where Real Betis came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory on home turf. Goals from J. Cardoso and J. Hernández overturned an early deficit caused by R. Vargas’ opener for Sevilla.
Vargas Strikes First for Sevilla
The match began with Sevilla taking an early lead in the 17th minute. Dodi Lukebakio sliced through the Betis defence before assisting R. Vargas, who finished cleanly to put the visitors 1-0 up. The goal briefly stunned the home crowd and gave Sevilla early momentum.
Betis Fight Back with Tactical Precision
Betis responded quickly. In the 25th minute, Youssouf Sabaly delivered a perfectly timed assist to J. Cardoso, who calmly slotted the equaliser. The goal marked a shift in control as Betis took charge of the midfield battle and grew into the game.
Just before halftime, Isco—leading the creative charge—delivered a brilliant pass to J. Hernández, who scored the decisive goal in the 43rd minute. Betis went into the break with a crucial 2-1 lead.
Second-Half Defence and Sevilla’s Struggles
In the second half, Real Betis maintained control through structured defensive play. Sevilla brought on fresh legs and pushed hard for an equaliser, but their efforts were blunted by Betis’ disciplined shape.
Persistent fouls and multiple yellow cards disrupted Sevilla’s rhythm. The absence of a clinical finisher like Jovic further hurt their chances, and Giménez’s failed attempts added to the missed opportunities.
Despite dominating possession late on, Sevilla couldn’t penetrate Betis’ compact backline.
Betis Claim Derby Glory
Real Betis vs Sevilla showcased Betis’ tactical superiority, especially after conceding the opener. The hosts capitalised on key transition moments and executed a resilient defensive plan to secure a well-earned 2-1 win. As Sevilla reflect on missed chances and disciplinary breakdowns, Betis celebrate a critical derby triumph that could shape their La Liga campaign moving forward.
