Borja Iglesias started his top scorer of the season by scoring in a 1-0 victory for Real Betis in the Europa League against Cypriot Aris Limassol (4-1), which was the fifth consecutive victory for the Verdiblancos in all competitions and that will allow them to go out for next Sunday’s derby at Sánchez-Pizjuán in their best moment of the season, since after two consecutive defeats suffered in mid-September against Barcelona and Rangers , Pellegrini’s men have now accumulated eleven games without defeat.
It took Real Betis just over half an hour to consolidate its lead in Group C, as until Panda’s goal chances against the Cypriot goal were few and far between. Pellegrini made eight changes to the starting eleven compared to beating Mallorca in LaLiga, as Bravo, Pezzella and Roca barely returned, and only between six and seven minutes Vana’s goal was reached, which was not William Carvalho, Rodri and Luiz. Henroque was right to lose.
The Swede Al Hakim disallowed a goal for clear offside against Montnor (19′) and as soon as the second started he disallowed another faster goal against Bengtsson at the request of VAR, because the lineman didn’t point anything out. . Betis did not do well after the break, Babicka (57′) enjoyed a good shot to equalize and Pellegrini soon brought on heavyweights like Isco, Ayoze and Guido.
Ruibal (64′) let the match be decided with a hard shot that was literally swallowed by Brazilian goalkeeper Vana, who would then shine by saving Isco’s VAR penalty that he gave to Fekir, who did not score from eleven meters – it was the first ball he touched-, but a few minutes later he assisted Marc Roca to make it 3-0, which was not certain because the appeared Kokorin scored a goal with the first ball which he held and then Bravo avoided 3-2 against Gomis during an action after which he was injured and needed medical help, so we will have to wait and see if he will enter the derby, where Rui Silva will be absent. Abde closed the scoring with a great ride himself in stoppage time.
