Overview

• Giovani Lo Celso curled in the opener on 31 minutes before a 52nd-minute own goal by Francisco Javier Hidalgo 'Son' sealed the away win in Razgrad.
• Pellegrini rotated heavily with eight changes from the previous league match, a plan he defended as enabled by an involved squad.
• Ludogorets lost Edvin Kurtulus to an early knee injury after a collision with Junior Firpo, prompting a substitution around the eighth minute.
• Betis controlled the game, managed disciplinary risk by withdrawing Aitor Ruibal and Junior Firpo after bookings, and reported no injuries as Ez Abde later struck the post.
• The result leaves Betis on four points from two group games after an opening draw with Nottingham Forest, achieved on a poor pitch in cold, rainy conditions.
