HE bet won 3-1 Spanish and so it gets better fifth row and ‘Champions’ optionsWhile they are 3 points behind Real Sociedad, leaving behind a team of budgies who always try but are still on the penultimate, one step over the cliff and powerless to overcome the sturdiness and punch of the Sevilla team.
Chile’s Manuel Pellegrini’s team started to clinch their victory in the last rematch of the first half after two defeats in a row. Goals by Ayoze Pérez and Juan MirandaDespite the second Espanyol losing in the 27th and 34th minutes, pressed and soon shortened the distances Mexico’s César Montes had a great goal from Chile, while Portugal’s William Carvalho finished his magnificent performance with a score of 3-1 in the 69th minute.
It was a high-tension duel due to the conflicting goals of both: seeking ‘Champions’ in the case of Béticos and avoiding relegation in the case of budgerigars, where the two teams came urgently after two and two. Notable losses due to five consecutive defeats and sanctions, respectively. Aitor Ruibal and Canales at Betis; Calero, Óscar Gil and Aleix Vidal in Espanyol.
Betic coach, Chile Manuel PellegriniHe put Martín Montoya, who hasn’t played since October, as a right-back and Mexico’s Andrés Guardado, as a novelty, pushing forward with Argentina’s Guido Rodríguez and midfield Portuguese William Carvalho with Brazil’s Luis Henrique and Ayoze Pérez. in the bands and at the Borja Iglesias point.
In the Catalans, Luis Garcia chose a very empowered midfielderSergi Darder is very active with Brazilian Vini De Souza and Spanish-Argentine Nico Melamed and in the offensive trident by Denmark’s Braithwaite, Joselu Matos and Puado.
The clash even started with the alternatives, with neither team imposing their play, but Verdiblancos came out with more enthusiasm, but without the depth or success as with Carvalho’s shot, which was his helm to put his team’s offenses together. and a header to which Guido’s Fernando Pacheco responded perfectly.
But under the pressure of their delicate situation, Espanyol was gaining more importance and was warned in two moves by Nico, who was also the most clairvoyant of parrots. Tried to surprise Rui Silva from afar and about the first quarter of an hour on a free kick where no one showed up and the Portuguese goalkeeper hurried away.
Meanwhile, very well positioned on the pitch but lacking in depth, Betis began to fuel up thanks to the vision of the game and the kick-off by William Carvalho, who was helped so well by fast Luiz Henrique and Paying the first goal 27 minutes later for Canary and Betic, Ayoze was inspired.Finishing off a great low-mid that trailed into Brazil’s field.
This was a blow to Luis García’s men, who were increasingly pale without their ideas, and seven minutes later they saw how. Juan Miranda finished second with a strong left foot After a good pass followed by a sharp Ayoze’s great play in the box. Betis managed to expand their lead in the first half in extra time, but Luiz Henrique lifted the ball too high before Pacheco was gone.
On reboot, Espanyol clearly came out to turn the situation around, At the beginning of this second half, a Sevilla team, which had suffered a lot due to the attacks of the Espanyolistas’ flanks and the constant corner kicks it caused, was compelled to the end by the threat of an aerial expert. Joselu.
Thus, Mexican defender Leandro Cabrera, after a corner and two rebounds with a header by Vini De Souza, in the second minute of this period, cushioned the ball with his chest and took the opportunity to close the gap with a fantastic goal and shot. a beautiful Chilean Rui Silva who adds uncertainty to a party that currently controls the Catalan team more.
his midfield He imposed himself with the ability to pay that of a very lost Betis. and an almost helpless three-goal option for a knocked down Espanyol, the always dangerous two shots from Joselu and a head shot from Montes, did not succeed for his men who were slowly losing faith against an Andalusian team that got back into action thanks to Luis García. Carvalho’s amazing game.
The Portuguese finished their magnificent performance with 3-1 in the 69th minute., a pass from Rodri, who left shortly before a crosshair. This was already a heavy slab for an Espanyol, which despite the changes (Denis Suárez, Pedrosa, Bare and Pierre Gabriel) was a victim of weakness and the solidity of a Betis who could score more goals with Luiz Henrique and Ayoze. Although it was Braithwaite who scored, his goal in extra time was canceled after VAR’s offside request.
