La Liga Resumes After Three Months Away As Sevilla Defeat Real Betis

Lucas Ocampos gave Sevilla the lead from a 56th-minute penalty and Fernando Reges then added the second goal for the home side, who are third in the table.

Sevilla beat Real Betis 2-0 when the League returned after a three-month absence on Thursday, making it the second of Europe's top five leagues to resume after the coronavirus pandemic. After the Bundesliga in Germany restarted on May 16, La Liga reopened its doors to players, but not fans, at Ramon Sánchez Pizjuan, where the typically vibrant Seville derby was played, in front of the empty stands. The game was the first in the top flight in Spain since March 10, but 93 days later another professional match was completed without incident, offering further encouragement to the Premier League in England and Serie A in Italy. Both will return next week.
