Marko Dmitrovich.

Betis started with authority, but were warned again after 3 minutes with a shot from the Argentinian.

This came on the hour mark thanks to good movement from Ayoze Pérez, who controlled the ball superbly and cut the Frenchman back. Bade He shot his shot from the outside of the left post of the goal. He wasn’t the only one, because five minutes later, in the 62nd minute, the Canary Islander entered the field and a confident Dmitrovic cleared his shot with his punches.

FridayHe was very calm and solution-oriented throughout the derby and did not ease the responsibility. In the middle of this period, En-Nesyri also headed in the dynamic Pedrosa’s cross, but could not find the goal.
