Thu Apr 17 17:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Betis Cruise to Conference League Semi-Finals Despite Late Jagiellonia Goal
**Białystok, Poland** – Real Betis secured their place in the UEFA Conference League semi-finals with a hard-fought 3-1 away victory over Jagiellonia Białystok. Despite a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, the Spanish side faced a stern test against a Jagiellonia team unbeaten at home in the competition this season.
While the first half saw few clear-cut chances for either side, Betis maintained their two-goal lead, surviving a disallowed Jagiellonia goal for offside just before the break. Betis controlled the second half, with Giovanni Lo Celso narrowly missing the target before Cedric Bakambu’s close-range strike effectively sealed the tie. A late goal from Darko Churlinov offered a consolation for the home side, but it proved too little, too late.
Bakambu, named Flashscore Man of the Match, was instrumental in Betis’ success. The victory extends Betis’ unbeaten run to six matches across all competitions. They will now face Fiorentina, another pre-tournament favorite, in the semi-finals.
Jagiellonia, competing in their first ever UEFA main draw campaign, can hold their heads high despite the defeat. Their domestic ambitions remain strong, as they chase a second consecutive Polish Ekstraklasa title.
