Ghent secured a firm 1-0 victory over Real Betis, but was thrown out of the race.

The game remained aimless in the bigger part of the competition, with both sides struggling to break the impasse, despite several options.

At the other side of Atsuki, Tito and Frank Surves had opportunities for visitors, but their shots were inclined.

The match took a dramatic turn in the 82nd minute when Vitor Rooke was originally shown a yellow card for a challenge for Archie Brown. However, after a VAR examination, the decision was upgraded to red, reducing Betis to ten men for the closing stages.

Ghent takes advantage of the numerical superiority and only five minutes later Archie Brown shoots home. The left back held a pass from Momoduo Sonko and dropped a powerful shot in the upper left corner, leaving Betis goalkeeper helpless.

In the end, their three -goal pillow from the first game was enough to see them until the last 16.
