Valencia CF travelled to Russia to play Kuban Krasnodar managing to win 0 - 2. The Football was not brilliant but no one is fussing at this stage as the three points are more valuable. The Spaniards showed plenty of midfield ball domination but little efficiency in the opposition goal area. Things happened when Valencia brought on young Alcacer & he scored straight after the opener in the 72nd min. The sealer & second goal came in the 81st min by Feghouli. In both goals, the home side goalie Belenor made important mistakes.
Valencia return home a little more relaxed after a tense month.
Sevilla FC travelled to Croatia & into a "hostile" HNK Rijeka stadium to win 0 - 2 away. Even game until Rijeka defender caused a penalty in the 62nd min & got a red card ( second yellow ). Sevilla midfielder Perotti scored in the 64th min & Sevilla took advantage of the situation with the home side down 10 men. Sevilla forward Bacca scored the teams second in extra-time.
Special mention to Sevilla players Rakitic & Jairo both playing well & guiding their team onto victory. Sevilla maintain strong in Europe.
Real Betis hosted SC Freiburg in a match that ended in a 1 - 1 draw. The main action occurred in the first 15 min with Benko putting the visitors ahead in the 10th min. Betis reacted quickly & equalized through Cedrick in the 14th min. From here onward the visitors held out as much as they could while Betis grew in intensity, but failed to convert their gained opportunities. Second draw for Betis in Europe.
