The match marked a disappointing first European outing for Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side, highlighted by a poor first half and an inability to convert chances. Meanwhile, Real Betis continued their strong league campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Getafe, thanks to a brilliant effort from Abde and a solid performance by Álvaro Valles, who kept a clean sheet.
