Feyenoord second best to Betis as Isco is on the spot for CL win

Feyenoord faced a disappointing evening in Spain as Real Betis secured a 1-0 victory with an Isco penalty. The Dutch team struggled throughout most of the match, but managed to hold on until the 59th minute when a cross from Abde Ezzalzouli hit the arm of Jeremiah St. Juste, resulting in a penalty. Isco, who dominated Betis's attacks all game, stepped up to score the decisive penalty.

Though Feyenoord's goalkeeper Tjark Ernst had made several impressive saves, including denying Troy Parrott and Marc Batra, the visitors had a penalty claim rejected in the 68th minute when Givairo Read alleged he was pushed by Ezzalzouli. The result places Feyenoord in 26th place in the Champions League table, with a crucial match against Internazionale at De Kuip on November 3 ahead.
