He Real
Betis signed his first draw of the season and his first comeback to score a point after starting losing, against a Villarreal which has already reached seven matches so far in the League and has only given up one defeat in 18 games in all competitions.
Before the first five minutes of the game, Villarreal had an advantage, with Pau Torres heading, totally free of mark, the first corner on the goal of Joel
Oak trees, which came after a turnover of William
Carvalho in the spinal cord.
Manuel
Pellegrini He had opted to repeat the same scheme of the previous week in Pamplona, with a more defensive midfield that that day managed to keep the door to zero, at the cost of leaving out more talented players such as Joaquín or Tello. But everything went awry on the first arrival of the Villarreal and an unforgivable mistake in a set piece play.
As a result of the early 0-1 the squad of Emery she retreated and felt comfortable, as the locals only hinted at danger when the ball fell at the feet of Fekir, who missed an excellent free kick from the edge and then served an excellent goal ball to Aitor
Ruibal (23 ’) that Sergio Asenjo prevented him from doing so with a good save.
(+) Kubo invented this fantasy dribble that almost ended in a goal for Villarreal:
At halftime, the Betic coach moved the tree, giving Tello and Miranda on the left wing instead of Alex
Brown and Saved, and five minutes after the game resumed he managed to equalize the score Aitor
Ruibal with an extraordinary volley that this time did find the cobwebs of Sergio Asenjo's goal.
Villarreal, after that 0-1 at the exit of a corner, did not create danger again on the goal of Joel
Oak trees, which except for that specific play was very well defended by his teammates, with special mention for Marc
Bartra and Víctor Ruiz, who completely annulled Gerard
Brown and the rest of the yellow tips.
The tie is worth Betis to stay close to the noble zone and ward off ghosts in these convulsive shareholding moments and it serves Villarreal to continue its unbeaten streak that keeps it in the zone Champions.
