Valencia CF had a slow start to the game trying to withstand the opposition’s high press in the early goings of the game. Alas, minutes later, the referee awarded the opposition a spot-kick which was converted by Borja Iglesias over the 12-minute mark.
Valencia CF refused to back down and they came close to getting back on level terms. Gonçalo Guedes threaded the ball into Marco’s André who was put off his stride by Montoya as he was about to get his effort away and then Gaya’s follow-up effort went wide of the mark.
The opposition mustered a response at the other end bringing out a super save from Jasper Cillessen halfway through the first half.
Aforementioned Borja Iglesias made 2-0 to Real Betis Balompié just under the half-hour mark in Seville.

Valencia CF were forced into a late substitution through injury as Mouctar Diakhaby replaced Gabriel Paulista after a lengthy stoppage time of eight minutes added on.
The first half finished 1-2 to Real Betis with all to play for in the second half.
Valencia CF came out in the second half looking to score the equaliser and they almost did right after the restart though Gonçalo Guedes as he got in behind his marker but the effort rolled.
