Sevilla 0-2 Real Betis: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Sevilla 0-2 Real Betis in the La Liga on Sunday, 30 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The first half saw Sevilla dominate possession but fail to convert it into goals, with Real Betis holding firm defensively. A yellow card to Betis’s Marc Bartra in the 42nd minute was the main incident, as neither side managed to break the deadlock before the break. Sevilla made a halftime change, with Kike Salas replacing Marcao, but the game remained goalless heading into the second period.

Real Betis took control early in the second half, with Aitor Ruibal booked in the 52nd minute before Pablo Fornals opened the scoring two minutes later in the 54th. Sevilla responded with double substitutions in the 61st minute, as Isaac Romero and Alex Sanchez came on for Anthony Gonzalez and Bounou Mendy, but Betis extended their lead through Sergi Altimira in the 68th after he had entered the game five minutes earlier. Late drama ensued with Sevilla’s Isaac Romero sent off in the 84th minute, followed by yellow cards to Jose Angel Carmona in the 75th and Marcao in the 86th, while Betis managed the game out with further changes and a stoppage-time booking for Chimy Avila.

Sevilla held 65% possession compared to Betis’s 35%, yet this dominance did not translate into goals, highlighting their inefficiency in the final third despite six corners to Betis’s four and a slight edge in successful dribbles at 62 to 56. The card count reflected a feisty encounter, with Sevilla picking up two yellows and one red, while Betis received three yellows, potentially disrupting rhythm but not preventing their clinical finishing. Both teams used all five substitutions, with Sevilla’s changes aimed at injecting energy but ultimately failing to alter the scoreline, and Betis’s timely introduction of Altimira at 63’ proving decisive as he scored soon after.

The game’s turning point came in the 54th minute when Pablo Fornals scored for Real Betis, breaking the deadlock and shifting momentum away from a possession-heavy Sevilla. Sergi Altimira, who had replaced Nelson Deossa just minutes earlier at 63’, doubled the lead in the 68th minute, capitalising on Betis’s counter-attacking efficiency. Sevilla’s hopes faded further with Isaac Romero’s red card in the 84th minute, compounding their disciplinary issues after earlier yellows, and leaving them unable to mount a comeback despite late substitutions like Chidera Ejuke making way for Mateo Sierra at 79’.

Sevilla lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on a solid midfield base to control the game, with partnerships in attack aiming to exploit width but struggling against Betis’s compact defence.

Real Betis also deployed a 4-2-3-1 shape, focusing on defensive resilience and quick transitions, where the midfield duo provided a platform for effective forward play that ultimately secured the win.

Pablo Fornals earned Man of the Match honours for Real Betis with his crucial 54th-minute goal that set the tone for their victory, combining well in attack and maintaining composure throughout before being substituted in the 90th minute.
