Real Betis have beaten FK Baumit Jablonec 2-1 in their Europa League clash this evening.
The Spanish side came through their tie in the Czech Republic with goals from Jorge Molina and Cedric.
Betis made the breakthrough with 21 minutes on the clock with Molina's strike, which capped off his side's superiority in the early exchanges.
Jablonec improved after conceding the goal and found an equaliser two minutes before the break through Jan Kopic.
The second half was an evenly-matched affair but it was Betis who found a vital second goal four minutes from time, thanks to Cedric's effort.
Jablonec pushed forward in search of the equaliser, but Betis held out to put themselves in a strong position ahead of next week's second leg.
