Mijas Las Lagunas and Real Betis B shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in the Spanish Segunda División RFEF on 24 October 2026, a result that underlined the hosts’ resilience and the visitors’ attacking potential.

Betis B will feel they did enough to win, while Mijas Las Lagunas will take confidence from recovering from a first-half deficit and holding one of the stronger sides in the group.

Match overview

Real Betis B made the brighter start and controlled the opening exchanges with crisp passing in midfield. The visitors took the lead in the 22nd minute when Pablo García finished a flowing move, arriving late in the box to guide a low cross beyond the goalkeeper.

Mijas Las Lagunas responded with greater intensity before the break but struggled to create clear chances. After half-time, the hosts pushed their wingers higher and began to threaten from set pieces. The equaliser arrived in the 64th minute when Rubén Sánchez powered a header home from a corner, sparking a lively final quarter.

Both sides had opportunities to win it. Betis B struck the post late on, while Mijas goalkeeper Álvaro Ruiz made two important saves in the closing minutes to preserve a point for the home side.

Tactical story

Real Betis B dictated possession for long spells, using their central midfielders to switch play and create overloads on the flanks. Their movement between the lines caused problems early on, but they became less incisive as Mijas adjusted their defensive shape.

Mijas Las Lagunas sat deeper after the opening goal and looked to strike on the break or from set pieces. That approach paid off with the equaliser, and their compact 4-4-2 block made it difficult for Betis B to find clean shooting angles in the final 20 minutes.

Standout performers

Sánchez was the obvious hero for Mijas, not only for his goal but also for his defensive work at set pieces. Ruiz’s late saves underlined his importance, while Betis B’s García was the most technically assured player on the pitch during the first hour.

What the result means

In the Segunda División RFEF Group 4 table, the point helps Mijas Las Lagunas maintain a useful buffer in the competitive mid-table pack. Real Betis B remain in the conversation for the promotion places, but dropped two points that could matter in a tightly contested group.

For both sides, this was a useful benchmark: Betis B showed their quality in possession, while Mijas proved they can compete physically and tactically against one of the group’s more technical teams.
