Míchel played the position of coach on the ice of El Alcoraz and Mandi with a header in a strategy play put an end to the hopes of the Huesca. Those of Pellegrini pulled the slate to take three points that move away from the low positions of the classification. Huesca tried to equalize the game when they had one more player than Betis, but in the final stretch of the clash Sanabria decided the match with another head goal. The result caused the dismissal of the coach who took the team back to First.
Fekir was the first to fire between the three sticks. The pressure of the Andalusians created havoc for the locals and after a robbery by Pellegrini The first dangerous shot that Álvaro Fernández managed to save came. The locals wanted to dominate the clash, aware of what they were playing, but the green and white team was quite clear that it could hurt the Huescans against. The Andalusians had found their weak point and in another deep pass came a dangerous foul from Insua. Channel launch found with the elbow inside the area of Sandro and Cordero Vega whistled a penalty. The VAR acted and the Cantabrian reviewed the play to rectify and cancel the maximum penalty.
In the harassment of Betis there came a clear chance for Loren when he was heading into the final stretch of the first half. The forward received only in the small area and his shot went out when Álvaro already looked beaten. For Míchel's men, the only dangerous arrival of the locals was before the break, with a shot from outside the area by Sandro Ramírez, which Bravo cleared to reach the end of the first 45 minutes with a zero tie, although the dominance of the Sevillians had been evident throughout the first half.
In the resumption, Míchel made a double change to try to stop the Betis and with the entry of Jorge Pulido and Borja García the match was equalized. The entrance of the Madrid midfielder was very good for the Alto Aragonese and saw gaps that had gone unnoticed in the visiting defense, finding Rafa Mir in danger between the lines. The balance leaned towards the Barça side and especially by the band of Galán, where dangerous actions took place.
However, Betis knew that Huesca suffered a lot from set pieces and in a strategic move Pellegrini's board gave the Sevillians the goal. Mandi was in charge of finishing in the small area without opposition. Something that did a lot of damage to the locals, who knew that they were playing a lot and that was suspected a very clear opportunity for Juanmi, who with everything in his favor could not sentence the match. Then Paul saw the second yellow and increased suffering for visitors. Those of Míchel looked for the tie and Okazaki failed to score when he received a pass from Ontiveros in a frank position. The one who decided on the horn was Sanabria, with a goal that broke his drought and sentenced the Vallecano coach.

Pellegrini: “The team was very focused”
“The team played a good game both in defense and attack. The team was very focused and we have to keep looking for the results. We had many goals conceded and we did not want to receive children's goals. We have managed to leave the door to zero in several games and we've had enough chances to win 0-2. Guido is a very important player for us and we gave Paul a lot of confidence. “
