Isco's penalty in the 59th minute gave Betis a 1-0 win over Feyenoord at the Estadio de La Cartuja on Wednesday night, a third victory from three games in the Champions League league phase.
The match, played on League phase matchday 3 and kicking off at 20:00, was goalless until the hour approached. Betis then took the lead from the spot and held on.
The decisive moments
Isco scored the only goal of the game with a 59th-minute penalty.
Feyenoord had already been in the book by then. Mika Mármol was booked in the 14th minute and Charles Vanhoutte followed in the 52nd. Betis picked up one caution of their own, Rodrigo Riquelme in the 86th minute.
What the numbers say
The scoreline was tight, but the shot count was not. Betis had 23 attempts to Feyenoord's 12, and put 10 of them on target against two from the visitors. Another nine Betis shots were blocked and four went off target.
Feyenoord did have more of the ball, with 53% possession to Betis's 47%. Corners were even at four each. Feyenoord committed 10 fouls to Betis's eight, and Betis were flagged offside twice to Feyenoord's once.
The result fits the season averages. Betis now score 2.33 goals per game and concede 1.33, and they have one clean sheet. Feyenoord score 1.33 per game and concede 2.67, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet.
The recent form pointed the same way. Betis had won 3-2 at Lille and 3-2 at home to Porto. Feyenoord had beaten Como 3-2 but lost 5-1 at Barcelona.
What it means in the table
Betis have nine points from three wins and a goal difference of plus three, which puts them fifth in the league phase table. They are level on points with leaders PSG, who have a goal difference of plus nine. The top eight go straight through to the Round of 16.
Feyenoord have three points from three games, with one win and a goal difference of minus four. That leaves them 26th, outside the top 24 who will reach the knockout play-offs or better.
It was also a second win for Betis in the recent head-to-head record. They beat Feyenoord 2-1 on 29 January 2026, and Feyenoord have not won either meeting.
MFF's match model had forecast a 2-1 Betis win, giving the hosts a 51% chance, with 19% for a draw and 30% for a Feyenoord win. It picked the right side, but the scoreline was wrong.
