Good night for Spanish sides Betis, Celta and Rayo in Europe on Thursday night

MADRID, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Spanish sides enjoyed a perfect night in the Europa and Conference League on Thursday, winning all three games.

In the Europa League, Betis beat last season's semifinalist Olympique Lyon 2-0 at home with two goals in four first-half minutes. Eze Abde finished at the near post in the 28th minute, and Antony chipped the goalkeeper after a pass from Marc Roca in the 32nd to seal the win.

Celta Vigo continued its good run with a 3-0 victory away to Dinamo Zagreb, taking a big step toward at least a Europa League playoff place. Pablo Duran opened the scoring in the third minute, Sergi Dominguez's own goal doubled the lead in the 27th, and Duran added a third two minutes before halftime.

In the Conference League, Rayo Vallecano came from 2-0 down to beat Lech Poznan 3-2 at Vallekas Stadium. The visitors led through first-half goals from Luis Palma and Antoni Kozubal. Isi Palazon pulled one back in the 59th minute, Jorge de Frutos equalized seven minutes from time after a defensive error, and Alvaro Garcia won it deep into stoppage time with an angled left-foot shot after running onto a long ball.
