Pellegrini’s team begins its continental adventure by landing in Scotland.
Rangers beat Betis 1-0 at Ibrox. A match that had a very different second half to the first, with Rangers continuing the momentum from the end of the first 45′. Michael Beale’s team continued to press, injected rhythm into the game and stayed vertical. Along with the set piece, the Scottish team hit Claudio Bravo’s goal post twice. Earlier, Sima was able to overtake his team through a dead ball in the small area to see the remaining minutes of the second half with more clarity.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side had a reaction effect after the attacking changes. Rodri and Ayoze changed the speed of play in the rival field of the Greens and Whites, and from then on the Spaniards emphatically looked for a draw. But as would happen in the first half, a great Jack Butland kept his team alive on every rival occasion, something that was ultimately enough to keep the three points at home and leave Betis empty-handed. to Seville.
Bitter debut for Betis in the UEFA Europa League. The second stop is against Sparta Prague.
