Real Betis have lost in the UEFA Conference League final, with Chelsea scoring four second half goals on their way to a 4-1 win in Poland.<\/p>\n

Real Betis make dream start with goal after nine minutes<\/h2>\n

Manuel Pellegrini\u2019s side made a confident start against their Premier League opponents, and their reward was the opening goal<\/a> after nine minutes. After winning back the ball, Isco slipped it across to Ez Abde, who fired past former Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.<\/p>\n

That was a dream start for Betis, and it could \u2013 and perhaps should \u2013 have got even better. Marc Bartra was denied by a good save from Jorgensen, while Johnny Cardoso should have done better after being set up by Abde. And in the end, they were made to pay for not scoring a second in the first half.<\/p>\n

Just beyond the hour mark, Chelsea got the equaliser<\/a> that they had been threatening throughout the opening 20 minutes of the second half. It was a fine cross from Cole Palmer that landed on the head of Enzo Fernandez, who made no mistake from close range.<\/p>\n

And five minutes later, Chelsea completed the comeback<\/a>. It was Palmer at the heart of the move again as he turned Romaine Perraud inside out before delivering another cross for Nicolas Jackson, also formerly of Villarreal, to score.<\/p>\n

Betis were chasing the game after that, and they were punished for a mistake from Youssef Sabaly that led to Jadon Sancho curling home Chelsea\u2019s third<\/a> on 83 minutes. And it would get even better for the London club in stoppage time as Moises Caicedo fired home a deflected effort to make it 4-1.<\/p>\n

A three-goal defeat is harsh on Betis, who were excellent throughout their UEFA Conference League campaign. They miss out on this occasion, but they will have chances to win a European trophy in the future, of that there is no doubt.<\/p>\n
