Champions League: LOSC falls to Real Betis (3-2) in European debut
Despite taking the lead, Real Betis came from behind to overturn LOSC at home on Tuesday in the opening match of the new Champions League format.
LOSC experienced disappointment in its opening Champions League match of the season. In front of its home crowd, the northern French club was defeated by Real Betis 3-2 on Tuesday, according to information reported by Le Monde.
The Lille side had actually been ahead at the break, leading the score after the first half. But the scenario quickly reversed after halftime: according to Le Monde, the Lille team lost control of the match within ten minutes, allowing the Andalusian side to turn the tide.
Real Betis thus secured a 3-2 victory, inflicting a defeat on Lille in this opening match of the competition. This match was part of the new Champions League format, which Le Monde provided live coverage of.
No additional details about the scorers or the precise course of the match were specified in the information available at this stage.
