Lille – Real Betis

Lille’s unbeaten run was halted at home as Real Betis snatched a 3‑2 victory, leaving the French side still perched on top of the table with ten points from four games but now with a slimmer goal difference of +5. The Spanish visitors, sitting seventh with nine points, climbed one place and improved their tally to a positive +0 goal difference after their second win of the campaign. Lille’s record of three wins and a draw was blemished by their first defeat, while Betis matched their three victories with only one loss, keeping their defensive record unchanged at five goals conceded. The head‑to‑head this season tipped in Betis’s favour, having already beaten Lille once, and the result widened the gap at the summit as Lille’s rivals look to close in.
