The second half was completely the opposite of the first: there were hardly any chances, little pace and more rest in both areas. The changes made by both sets didn’t completely remove the wasp’s nest either. Athletic completed an excellent game, destroying a Betis team that had started the game biting and free through San Mamés. An authentic match we experienced in La Catedral.
82′TARGET OF UNAI GOMEZ! ATHLETIC ROOM! Quick transition play for Valverde’s men, who secured their first win of the season in San Mamés with just three passes.
Betis will have to redeem himself in this second half after letting Athletic (with the help of the two penalties) change the script of the match. There are 45 minutes left and, like the first, we secured even more dynamite in San Mamés.
There is a lot to summarize after this first half in San Mamés, but we will try to be concise and precise. It has been a game of mini-games, a competition with two distinct parts. He started by beating Betis, who declared the match “condemned” within ten minutes: first it was Willian José, then Isco. Betis was less wary and Athletic managed to recover from the blow he received as he conceded two goals so quickly. There followed a shot on the crossbar by Vivian, a shot on the post by Muniain and a goal disallowed by Iñaki Williams for offside. However, two penalties fell on Nico Williams, both converted by Vesga, so that the score was tied. The first, a fall of little Williams committed by Rui Silva, seemed more controversial. The second was a clear punch from Guido Rodríguez. Both had to be judged with the VAR and the monitor. With extra time, Athletic lifted all of San Mamés and completed the comeback after Guruzeta’s goal.
45′ + 7′ATHLETIC COMEBACK! INCREDIBLE FOOTBALL NIGHT IN BILBAO! GURUZETA TARGET! Great play from the Lions with Vesga pushing in the area, there’s a poor clearance from Pezzella, Williams assists low to the penalty spot and Guruzeta pushes the ball to make it 3-2 on the scoreboard.
44′GOAL OF VESGA! ATLETIC TAKES IT FROM ELF METERS! Double play from Vesga, both from penalties, so that San Mamés can celebrate the 2-2. What a game we watch in Bilbao.
42 & # 39; They ask for another penalty kick for Nico Williams, who falls into the area after a punch from Guido. At the moment Soto Grado says there is nothing. And he approaches the monitor again, to see the repetition of that stamping on Nico Williams!
33′ TO THE STICK MUNIAIN! WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ATHLETICS! Shot from the balcony of the Muniain area, after another combination from the Williams, which runs into the stick.
30′GOAL OF VESGA! ATHLETIC GOAL! Vesga doesn’t miss from eleven yards, which confuses Rui Silva and controls his shot at the post.
25′ PENALTY ON NICO WILLIAMS! Fantastic connection between the Williams brothers: Iñaki extended Nico in the area and Rui Silva brought down little Williams. The action is judged with the VAR for possible offside by Nico Williams! And Soto Grado goes to the monitor to confirm whether or not there is a penalty in the action! Minutes of tension in San Mamés, the local stands put pressure on the referee. AND THERE IS A PENALTY! Soto Grado reconfirms his decision and awards a penalty in Athletic’s favor for that move which sees Nico Williams knocked down in the area by Rui Silva.
9′ISCO TARGET! THE SECOND OF BETIS AT 10 MINUTES! What a great game from the men of Pellegrini! Guido sends a ball behind the defense which reaches Ruibal, he passes to Isco and the Malaga man puts her in the squad to double his team’s lead.
3′WILLIAN JOSE GOAL! THE BETIS IS ADVANCED! Fantastic game from the Sevillian team in which Marc Roca intervenes, who gives the ball to Ayoze and assists Willian José, who regained ownership today and opens the scoring in San Mamés.
