Borussia Dortmund ended Real Betis' winning run in the Champions League with a 2-1 home victory at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday 4 November 2026, according to BBC Sport. The match was part of the UEFA Champions League league stage.
Fabio Silva opened the scoring four minutes into the second half after Jobe Bellingham's shot was saved by the foot of visiting goalkeeper Alvaro Valles, with Silva converting the rebound.
Aitor Ruibal levelled for Betis in the 67th minute, unmarked at the back post and converting a low cross from Abde Ezzalzouli, five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Konstantinos Karetsas restored Dortmund's lead in the 72nd minute with his first Champions League goal, scoring with a low strike after receiving a pass from Silva. Both teams now have nine points out of a possible 12 after four matches.
Dortmund are second in the German Bundesliga and only behind leaders Bayern Munich on goal difference. Betis had won all of their opening three matches in this season's competition before this defeat.
The win continued Dortmund's six-match unbeaten run in all competitions and meant they have now lost just two of their past 25 Champions League home matches.
Betis remain without a win against German sides this century but are still well placed to progress to the knockout stages.
There was a minute's silence in tribute to Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who died after an on-field collision in a Spanish second-division match on Monday. Dortmund play at 2025-26 runners-up Arsenal on Tuesday 24 November, with Betis at bottom-of-the-table Slovan Bratislava.
