Real Betis beat Lyon 2-0 in UEFA Europa League, extending unbeaten record

Antony continues his scoring streak, leading Real Betis to a 2-0 win over Lyon in the UEFA Europa League. The victory marks Real Betis' tenth win in their last 11 European matches, showcasing their impressive form.

Lyon started strongly, with Tanner Tessmann and the rest of Les Gones dominating possession early on. However, they had a scare when Cédric Bakambu nearly caught them off guard on the edge of their own box, highlighting the intense nature of the match.

Khalis Merah's early attempt went wide, setting the tone for a cautious first 20 minutes, with both teams playing attractive football but lacking a clear cutting edge. Real Betis's first shot was a tame effort from Antony, which posed little threat to Dominik Greif.

Betis upped their game and made the breakthrough on the half-hour mark, with Abde Ezzalzouli scoring after Lyon's lax defending. Ezzalzouli's initial strike was palmed behind, but he reacted quickly to convert the rebound, flicking on Bakambu's headed clearance.

Antony was on fire, and he came close to scoring a quick second, but it was only a matter of time before he found the back of the net. Marc Roca's clever free-kick set him up perfectly, and Antony lifted the ball over Greif to score.

Lyon's chances of an equalizer were limited before the break, with only speculative efforts from Tessmann and Enzo Molebe testing the Betis goalkeeper. The first half was all about Real Betis, and they deservedly went into the break with a 1-0 lead.

FULL TIME!

Despite Lyon's pressure, they struggled to break through, and their shots were either off-target or saved. Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Nicolas Tagliafico both had chances, but they couldn't find the back of the net. Real Betis' defense remained solid, and they continued to threaten on the counter-attack.

Tyler Morton's speculative shot went wide, encapsulating Real Betis' growing frustration, but they secured a 2-0 win over Lyon, extending their unbeaten record in the UEL. This victory marked their third consecutive win in different competitions, while Lyon suffered their third consecutive winless match across all competitions.
