Betis' 2-1 lead was overturned by Real Madrid, as per Andrés Ocaña's report for Cope.

In the fifth league match of the 25-26 season, Real Betis secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad at the Cartuja stadium. This article is for registered users and subscribers who wish to delve into the analysis of this thrilling encounter, provided by Andrés Ocaña, a journalist from Cadena Cope in Seville.

The game was a rollercoaster ride, with both teams displaying impressive moments. The second half, in particular, was marked by an outstanding performance from Real Betis, as they managed to climb the table and approach the European positions with this victory.

The scoreline tells only a part of the story. Abde, a key player for Real Betis, provided an assist for the first goal scored by Remiro. Fornals, another standout performer, scored the final goal after a great team play. Abde also hit the post twice during the game, narrowly missing out on adding to his tally.

The performances of Lo Celso, Bartra, Fornals, and Amrabat were particularly noteworthy. Their combined efforts helped Real Betis to turn the tide in their favour, securing the vital victory.

Pablo García had another chance with an empty net, but his effort was denied by the goalpost. Despite this, the team of Manuel Pellegrini, the Chilean football manager born on September 16, 1953, in Santiago, showed great resilience to secure the win.

Pellegrini, currently the head coach of Real Betis, has led the team to significant successes, including a Copa del Rey win in 2022 and consistent European competition qualifications. In the 2025–26 season, he achieved a winning streak against Real Sociedad by the fifth match.

With this victory, Real Betis has made a strong statement in the league, highlighting their potential to challenge for higher honours in the coming months. As we move forward, the eyes of the footballing world will be on Real Betis, eager to see if they can maintain their impressive form and continue their climb up the table.
