Real Betis’ 1-0 win over Razgrad Ludogorets on Thursday, was hard fought at Huvepharma Arena. Ludogorets had been hopeful of continuing their good run after winning last match while Betis had secured a point against Roma in their previous match. Ludogorets are now in 2nd place, with 7 points from 5 matches, while Betis sit in 1st, with 13 points from 5.

Following a goalless first half, Betis continued to apply pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Nabil Fekir gave them the lead, 56 minutes in, sealing a 1-0 victory for the away side.

Substitutions for Ludogorets included Matias Tissera, Nonato, Spas Delev, Claude Goncalves and Denny Gropper for Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues, Jakub Piotrowski, Rick Lima, Aslak Witry and Pedrinho, respectively. Betis brought on Luiz Henrique, Nabil Fekir, Alex Moreno, Quique Fernandez and Borja Iglesias, to replace Joaquin, Paul Akouokou, Juan Miranda, Guido Rodriguez and Willian Jose.

There were bookings for Cicinho and Olivier Verdon from Ludogorets, and Paul Akouokou, for Betis.
