Real Betis clinched a 2-0 win over Lyon on Thursday evening at the Benito Villamarín Stadium, courtesy of goals by Ezzalzouli and Antony in a Europa League group stage encounter. Moroccan international Abdessamad Ezzalzouli broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, delivering a precise shot into the bottom left corner following a setup by Cédric Bakambu. Just five minutes later, Spanish winger Antony extended the lead by cleverly lobbing Lyon's goalkeeper, Dominik Greif, putting the Andalusians firmly in control. Despite their efforts in the second half, Lyon failed to convert their opportunities, particularly those from Khalis Merah and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, as Betis goalkeeper Álvaro Valles skillfully thwarted several attempts.
