Real Betis are out of the Europa Conference League after losing at home to Dinamo Zagreb

Real Betis are still in the barrel of a second exit from European competition this season. Having been relegated to the Europa Conference League after finishing third in their Europa League group, they are now at great risk of losing their place in that tournament as well, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb at the Benito Villamarin. .

The first half was a quiet affair, although Betis had chances to score. Nabil Fekir was at the heart of most of the good things for the hosts, and created great chances for William Carvalho and German Pezzella, although he was unable to find the back of the net.

Betis dominated the game again in the second half without creating too much, and they were punished for it in the 76th minute. Chadi Riad was adjudged for handling in the area, which allowed Bruno Petkovic to score from the spot of penalty.

The Real Betis huffed and puffed in his search for an equalizer, but one did not come. It means they need to win in Zagreb next Thursday to force a result, something that will be far from fair for Manuel Pellegrini's side.
