Borussia Dortmund beat Real Betis 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday. Fabio Silva and Konstantinos Karetsas struck in the second half for the BVB to clinch all three points.
The home side were dealt a blow just over half an hour into the kick-off after Serhou Guirassy picked up an injury and was replaced by Karetsas.
Silva broke the deadlock in the 49th minute with a finish from close range but Aitor Ruibal equalized for Los Beticos seven minutes after the hour mark.
Karetsas then restored Dortmund's lead five minutes later and it eventually proved enough to seal all three points for them. Here are the player ratings for Borussia Dortmund:
Gregor Kobel - 6.5: Wasn't tested enough on the night but stood no chance with Betis' equalizer either.
Waldemar Anton - 7.5: Started on the right of the three-man backline and had a routine game, playing a vital role in recovering possession as well as making crucial interventions defensively.
Nico Schlotterbeck - 7: Was important to circulating the ball whilst also being sound in defense.
Ramy Bensebaini - 6.5: The Algerian wasn't as involved as his other defensive counterparts but still strong in possession and carried the ball forward well a few times.
Julian Ryerson - 8.5: Dortmund's unrelenting creative force with five chances created, including 4 big chances, whilst also laying nine crosses.
Joey Veerman - 7.5: A vital component of Dortmund's passing game with his accurate distribution; a threat off the ball too with his aggressive pressing.
Felix Nmecha - 7.5: Won all six ground duels, attempted two shots in the game, and laid one cross too.
Daniel Svensson - 7.5: An outlet of crosses from the left to ensure the forwards are well fed; made six crosses but one missed one big chance in the game.
Jobe Bellingham - 7.5: Unusually direct, taking the game to Betis with his eager to shoot; attempted six shots, two on target and created two chances on the night too.
Fabio Silva - 8: Followed up his goal against Bayern with the opener here and then proceeded to set up Konstantinos Karetsas too.
Serhou Guirassy - N/A: The striker was forced off after just 34 minutes into the clash with an injury in a huge, early blow for Dortmund.
