Isco's late penalty gives Betis 3-2 win over Porto

Isco scored an 84th-minute penalty to give Real Betis a 3-2 win over Porto in the Champions League, BBC Sport.

It finished 3-2. It was settled late.

The victory gave Betis back-to-back wins to start their Champions League campaign, BBC Sport. Two games played. Two games won. That is the perfect start in a competition where every point shapes what comes next.

The tie was played on 14 October 2026. It was a league-phase match, BBC Sport. That is the opening stage of the Champions League, where 36 teams sit in one big table and play eight games each to chase a place in the knockouts.

A penalty, for anyone new to the game, is a free shot at goal from 12 yards. It is given after a foul inside the box. Miss it and the moment turns on you. Score it and you are the hero.

Isco scored his. With six minutes of normal time left, the midfielder sent the winner past the goalkeeper to decide a five-goal contest.

BBC Sport carried live text commentary, score updates and match stats through the night. UEFA also lists the fixture on its official Champions League match centre for Real Betis v Porto.

What makes this stand out is the timing. Late goals change the noise in a stadium. They turn a draw that feels flat into a win that fans will talk about on the way home.

For Betis supporters, this means momentum. Two wins from two gives them a strong base before the table starts to tighten. For Porto, it means a missed chance to take something from a tight away game.

Both clubs now look to the next round of league-phase fixtures, where another result can quickly reshape the standings.
