Real Betis beat Getafe 1-0.

The LaLiga clash between Real Betis and Getafe unfolded at the Estadio Benito Villamarín in Sevilla on 17 September 2026. Both sides entered the match looking to claim three points, but the home side ultimately prevailed thanks to a first-half strike and a disciplined defensive effort after a late dismissal.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were marked by a flurry of cautions. In the 24th minute, Ángel Ortiz of Real Betis received a yellow card for a bad foul, setting the tone for a physical encounter. Just a minute later, Getafe’s Davinchi was also booked for a similar infringement, highlighting the intensity of the early exchanges.

The deadlock was broken on the cusp of half-time. In the 45th minute, Abde Ezzalzouli seized the moment for Real Betis, firing a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner. The chance was created by a swift counter-attack and an assist from Troy Parrott, with the goal later confirmed after a VAR review. This gave the hosts a 1-0 lead heading into the break.

The second half saw Getafe struggle to regain composure, and the referee’s whistle continued to feature. Mario Martín of Getafe was booked in the 53rd minute for a bad foul, his first caution of the match. The disciplinary pressure increased as Nemanja Gudelj received a yellow card in the 70th minute, also for a bad foul, followed by Sebastián Boselli’s booking in the 74th minute for a similar offence.

Tensions peaked in the closing stages. In the 87th minute, Mario Martín was shown a second yellow card for a bad foul, resulting in a sending-off. Getafe were forced to play the remaining minutes with ten men, leaving them with little chance of overturning the narrow deficit.
