Betis: Trapped in a crazy match (1-1)

Valles has excelled in goal, which is not usually good news. Too many failures were seen in simple services. There were even fights on the pitch in the encounter presented by Valencia, as other teams such as Getafe or Sevilla themselves will do in the derby. The game is interrupted, and the actions reach such a maximum and intensity that the quality is diluted and the forces are equalized. Betis fell into that trap in a duel they had to deal with in order to achieve victory, especially after a 0-1 draw. The matter ended as it happened in Elche, Vigo, Valencia, and Villarreal.

The match started quickly, with a nice pace for the spectators but difficult for the players’ legs to bear. As if they were both in a hurry to strike the first blow. After Anthony’s start, Abdi failed due to his haste, so he hit the ball with one foot and then with the other, in the fourth minute. But in the seventh game, Valles had to leave for a one-on-one break with Danjuma in the penalty area. This local striker shot strongly in the ninth minute, but Betic’s goalkeeper pushed it back to the crossbar. A crazy start that barely stopped as the game went from side to side, with the green and white looking for their boots, while Valencia tried to press too high and get out fewer meters forward.

In the 29th minute, a resounding second chance came for Betis, with a counterattack from Cucho from the left side, attracting up to four opponents, leaving Anthony alone in front of Aguirzabala. The Brazilian’s shot went high and his laments were heard throughout Valencia and the surrounding areas. Betis was not fighting in the match that left him alive, but Valencia also had something to say and Vales had to make another good save from Diego Lopez after a side pass from Gaya.

Particular mention was made of the decisions of Garcia Verdura, who allowed a lot of aggressive play to Valencia, who tried to obliterate the game to stop Betic’s attack, with Gaya as one of the ringleaders. Incidents and many simulations of the refereeing situation. At that moment, Lo Celso entered the area from the left wing and the dragging of Thierry Correa’s back foot prevented him from continuing the journey. Iglesias Villanueva, from VAR, did not inform the referee on the field. Another punishment that remains in limbo from Heliopolis complaints. And so we came to rest.

Anthony enters the area after a pass from Cucho and is harassed by Gaya enough that he does not have a comfortable body to shoot properly. García Verdura continues to let the locals play to the limit and mistakes are ignored leaving them desperate. Korea pays Abdi when he controls the region. There’s no penalty either. Betis is clearly dominating at this stage and avoiding local transitions. Diego Lopez represents the biggest threat for Valencia because he is seen as too active. Petic’s defense stops every attempt well.

Abdi reaches the baseline and his pass to the far post is blocked by Gaya Anthony Login just to finish the matter. We’re past game time. Betis is recovering and recovering faster and wants to add more speed to the match, but he lacks accuracy and there are mistakes in the easy passes to Valentin, Cucho or Bellerin. But the dominance is distributed and Valencia feels comfortable fielding their full-backs. Nathan He sees yellow for a silly mistake and is ready for the derby. Abdi was stopped by Pebelo for committing a foul and saw yellow. The match remains extremely equal and forces Betis to exert great physical effort after playing last Thursday. Valencia takes a step forward and kicks corner kicks. Anthony, with his right foot in a counterattack, hits a cross in front of the Valencia goalkeeper. There is the shock of genius.

And turns it around Cucho Hernandez After an incorrect pass from Tarija at the start, it ends at the feet of Abdi, who quickly passes the ball to Kocho, who faces Aguirzabala and scores 0-1 to everyone’s madness. Valencia does not handle the celebration well and faces Tarija Abdi. They both see yellow. Pellegrini introduces Marc Roca instead of Lo Celso to secure the midfield, and advances Fornals and Riquelme on the left instead of Abdi. Corberan implements the changes with a triple switch. There is a quarter of an hour left until the end of the match, and now the green and white must maintain or extend their advantage, as the ambition of this team is always there.

But when you come out of the corner Rioja He wins the ball in front of Anthony and shoots so hard that Valles can’t do anything and makes it 1-1. A splash of cold water too soon. There’s a foul on Valentin in the offensive zone and Anthony will take it with everyone in the Valencia zone but it’s too high. Valentin is struggling with Rioja and should miss him in yellow when he leaves. The procedure is now similar in the opposite area. Conflict has a pause and anyone can win. Cucho tried to pass the ball to Betis, but his shot with his left foot was blocked by the local goalkeeper with his foot in the 89th minute. The referee gives four minutes of extra time and in that period Valencia is the most active with Rioja as the protagonist until the end. Betis realizes that if they can’t win, they at least have to add more and that becomes the goal. Don’t lose. Thus he emerged from a complex turn like the one proposed by Valencia from start to finish in the Mestalla.
