Real Betis
Lille started brightly and led twice in the first half, with Ayase Ueda and Alexsandro both scoring from headers to punish set-piece lapses by Betis, who nonetheless kept finding a route back through Marc Bartra's aerial threat. The game turned decisively in the second half: Bartra's second equalizer on 49' was quickly followed by Troy Parrott's winner just four minutes later, and Lille's night unraveled further when Ethan Mbappé was sent off for violent conduct in the 56th minute. From there Betis controlled the game territorially, finishing with 55% possession and a staggering 20 shots to Lille's 6, though they couldn't add to the scoreline against a resilient Lille backline that put in 17 tackles. Betis snap a difficult European away trip with a statement result, while Lille will rue their set-piece fragility and Mbappé's costly indiscipline in a match they twice led.
