Real Betis hosted Nottingham Forest at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville for their opening 2025–26 UEFA Europa League group-stage match. The home side started strongly, controlling possession and looking to assert dominance in front of their fans. Nottingham Forest, making their first European appearance in nearly 30 years, remained disciplined in defense while seeking opportunities to launch counter-attacks against Betis’ high press.
The breakthrough came in the 15th minute when Cédric Bakambu capitalized on a defensive lapse from Forest to put Betis ahead. The early goal energized the Spanish side and forced Forest to adjust their approach, moving more aggressively through midfield. Despite the setback, Forest remained composed and looked to exploit spaces behind Betis’ advancing full-backs.
Forest responded impressively, scoring twice in quick succession through Igor Jesus in the 18th and 23rd minutes. These goals swung momentum in favor of the visitors, who now controlled possession and dictated the pace of the game. Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson were pivotal in orchestrating attacks, linking midfield and forward play effectively while limiting Betis’ opportunities on the ball.
Betis slowly regained composure and applied sustained pressure in the latter stages of the match. Their persistence paid off in the 85th minute when Antony finished a precise cross from Marc Roca, leveling the score at 2-2. Betis pressed for a winner in the closing minutes, creating a few half-chances, but Forest’s defense and goalkeeper maintained focus to preserve the draw.
The match ended 2-2, giving both teams a point in the group stage. Betis demonstrated resilience and European experience, while Nottingham Forest impressed with their composure, tactical discipline, and attacking efficiency despite being away from home. Both teams will look to build on this performance in upcoming group-stage fixtures, aiming to strengthen their positions for a potential knockout-round qualification.
