Real Betis beat FC Porto 3-2 on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, in the second matchday of the Champions League league phase. The match was played at La Cartuja in Seville, the club's first Champions League game at home in 21 years. Porto arrived unbeaten in the Portuguese league, although it had lost its opening Champions League match to Manchester City at the Dragão. Manuel Pellegrini's side had already won at Lille in the first round, so this was its second win in two matches. El País put the crowd at 67,000 fans, and Observador noted that Betis sat third in La Liga, level on points with Real Madrid.
Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, known as Abde, gave Betis the lead in the 47th minute after the restart, finishing a move set up by Francisco García. Gabri Veiga equalised for Porto in the 55th minute with a free kick, and Samu put the visitors ahead in the 61st. Cucho Hernández levelled again in the 74th minute. Isco converted a penalty in the 84th minute, a decision that VAR had reviewed and granted. El Mundo noted that Porto's two scorers, Gabri Veiga and Samu, are both Spanish.
Before the break, referee Clément Turpin ruled out a Porto goal by Martim Fernandes after a VAR review found a handball by Borja Sainz in the build-up. The disallowed goal came around the 40th minute, and the first half ended goalless. El País counted 13 shots by Betis before the interval, and Betis controlled much of the play. Porto's André Silva struck the crossbar after errors by Álvaro Valles and Natan, and Antony hit a post in the second half. Betis were also slow to turn their pressure into goals until the second half, when Abde's strike opened the scoring.
The defeat was Porto's second in as many league-phase matches, according to Diário de Notícias, which placed the Portuguese side 29th in the league phase. Porto had been unbeaten in its domestic league before this game. Betis now have two wins from two Champions League matches, and El País described the result as a return to the continent's elite in front of their own fans.
