Real Betis beat FC Utrecht 2-1, staying unbeaten in the Europa League. The win was a great result for the Spanish side, and they got all three points despite some early scares.

The game was marked by a nasty collision between Amrabat and Isco, who was forced off with an injury just 10 minutes in. Amrabat soldiered on, but he too had to be substituted, leaving Betis to regroup and push on for the win.

FC Utrecht had a chance early on, with El Karouani's cross narrowly missing Haller. But Betis took control, and they started to create some good chances. Cucho Hernandez had a great opportunity, but his shot was cleared off the line by Van der Hoorn.

The breakthrough came just before halftime, and it was a great goal. Antony won the ball high up the pitch and picked out Hernandez, who scored with a diving header for his first European goal. It was a great team goal, and it set the tone for the rest of the game.

Utrecht were already struggling, having lost five of their last six away games, and things got worse when El Karouani was injured at the end of the first half. He collided with his goalkeeper and had to come off, leaving his team with a tough task.

Betis made it 2-0 just five minutes after the break, with Abde Ezzalzouli scoring a great goal. He cut in from the left and shot low past Van der Hoorn, giving Betis a comfortable lead.

FULL TIME!

A crucial W at home! 💪

Betis looked like they were cruising, but Utrecht pulled one back with a stunning goal from Miguel Rodríguez. He scored from halfway, catching Valles off-guard and giving the visitors hope.

The Utrecht fans were celebrating a goal that was quickly disallowed, as Derry Murkin was offside in the build-up. It was a big letdown for the visitors, who had thought they were back in the game.Betis stay unbeaten in Europa League with 2-1 in

Betis are looking good at home, with just one loss in their last eight games, and they're currently in the top eight. Their temporary home has been a good one, with a strong run of results.

Utrecht, on the other hand, are struggling. They're still winless after five games, and they've yet to beat a Spanish team. They're five points off a playoff spot, and elimination is staring them in the face.
