FC Barcelona beat Real Betis 5–2 after Facundo Bernal dismissal

Yamal opens, Rodri restores the lead

Lamine Yamal opened the scoring with a curling shot into the top corner from outside the area. Valentín Gómez equalized by heading home a Fornals cross. Both goalkeepers then made saves: Álvaro Vallés denied Adeyemi, while Joan García stopped Bellerín. Rodri restored Barcelona’s lead with a header from a corner, his first goal for the club.

Lo Celso’s volley before the break was disallowed after VAR identified an earlier handball by Cucho Hernández.

Barcelona went into halftime ahead 2–1 at Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla, with Betis still one goal behind.

Halftime changes precede Gabriel Jesus goal

Both teams made changes at halftime. Barcelona replaced Gerard Martín with Eric, and Betis brought on Deossa for Dani Ceballos.

Gabriel Jesus had a second-half volley ruled out for offside before scoring shortly afterward. Fermín released Lamine on the right, and his low cutback supplied Gabriel Jesus for Barcelona’s third.

Ez Abde cuts the deficit before Bernal dismissal

Ez Abde scored next to reduce the deficit to 3–2. Facundo Bernal was then dismissed with the score unchanged, leaving Betis to complete the match with ten players. Betis also turned to Riquelme and Parrott in place of Lo Celso and Cucho Hernández.

Barcelona also introduced Dani Olmo for Fermín and Gordon for Adeyemi. Betis brought Ángel Ortiz on for Bellerín and Fidalgo for Fornals during the second half.

Eric García and Dani Olmo complete the scoring

A deflected Lamine free kick reached Pau Cubarsí, whose touch supplied Eric García for a close-range fourth.

Barcelona later introduced Raphinha for Lamine Yamal and Gavi for Gabriel Jesús.

Dani Olmo scored the final goal to complete Barcelona’s 5–2 victory, with the last two goals coming after Bernal’s dismissal.
