HE betResisting the game with a draw until halftime, succumbed to the biggest punch of the team. Manchester United In the second part of the first leg of the Round of 16 european leaguewhich will force him to seek a miracle in Benito Villamarín (4-1).
Neither pride hurt nor the team depressed, four days after losing 7-0 to Liverpool Manchester United comfortably beat Real Betis (4-1) and are aiming for the quarter-finals, although they should confirm next week at Sevilla.
The ‘Red Devils’ were far superior to Betis, who believed in a miracle when Ayoze Pérez scored Marcus Rashford’s first goal.. But the other day, in the second half, where Liverpool scored six goals, United grew and finished the game with a fantastic Antony, leaving the draw very expensive for the Manchester team.
Snow, who has become the hero of the previous one, did not expect a new cold performance of the series. United taking the field to bite Betis and to show that Liverpool, however new, is just an accident.
With six minutes on the scoreboard, Erik Ten Hag’s team had already had time to cancel a goal.Wout Weghorst for offside and apply to create another.
After a bad distance made by Luiz Felipe, Rashford stepped on the ball as if it was a game of futsal and nailed at an angle. A great goal to show why he is England’s most fit player.
The British had ample opportunity to extend the lease., over Weghorst and Rashford, but half an hour later Juanmi controlled a ball on the left flank, came in and found Ayoze inside the field. Spaniard, a great connoisseur of the Premier, he pocketed the leather and moved to De Gea’s far post. Another great target for copying Rashford’s.
AND Only one stick prevented Betis from winning in the first half at Old Trafford, because she did an internship from Ayoze, she bounced off Lisandro with her center and went to the forest. De Gea, who gifted the ball in the making of the game, took a breath.
The nerves that could have predicted United’s final minutes in the first half never resurfaced, and Ten Hag’s men, knowing they were the favourites, delivered a power blow in the second half.
Responsibility assumed Anthonyplaced in the front as soon as possible, placed the ball in his left foot and put it in a square. In the duel of great goals, the Brazilian was already winning and minutes later with 3-1 on the scoreboard, I missed two heads that they can punish the tie.
Previously, United took third place, taking advantage of the passivity of the Verdiblanca defense. Luke Shaw takes corner and controversial Bruno Fernandes appeared alone at the close post to head his goal.
The Portuguese could have been sent off later for a kick to Claudio Bravo, but VAR did not go to review the possible red card.
Eight minutes after the end, Facundo Pellistri smashed Betis’ defense, making a pass behind him and McTominay finished, Bravo saved and Weghorst made the final 4-1 as he wanted..
by 4-1, Betis just need to hold on to a historic night in Seville trying to have options, or at least compete, which was impossible for him at Old Trafford.
