Overview
- Real Betis drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in Seville, with Antony leveling in the 85th minute at La Cartuja in the Europa League opener.
- Igor Jesus struck a first‑half brace, tapping in from Morgan Gibbs-White’s cross before heading in a Douglas Luiz corner to become Forest’s first European scorer in nearly 30 years.
- Forest dominated the first half and out-shot Betis 13-1 but failed to add a third, with Callum Hudson‑Odoi hitting the post and Pau López making key saves.
- Ange Postecoglou is still seeking his first win as Forest manager; he started Jesus ahead of Chris Wood and said Douglas Luiz was taken off at half-time due to a hamstring issue.
- Betis hosted the match at La Cartuja during renovations to their home ground, and Forest now look to a home league game on Saturday as they monitor Luiz’s fitness.
