Isco's Late Penalty Seals Real Betis' Second Champions League Win

16 hours ago·1 min

Real Betis secured back-to-back victories in this season's UEFA Champions League after Isco converted an 84th-minute penalty to clinch a dramatic 3-2 victory over Porto.

The Spanish side trailed and fought their way back in a tense encounter, with Isco's spot-kick arriving late enough to leave Porto with no time to respond. The result sends Real Betis into the competition with real momentum, winning both of their opening Champions League fixtures.

Isco, the veteran Spanish midfielder, proved the decisive figure — stepping up with the game in the balance and delivering under pressure to hand his side all three points.

Porto, who will feel they gave themselves every opportunity in the contest, were left empty-handed despite what was a fiercely competitive performance. The 3-2 final scoreline reflects just how close and hard-fought this encounter was throughout.

Real Betis will take enormous confidence from this result as the Champions League group stage continues, having now demonstrated the character to win tight, high-stakes matches at this level.
