Thank you very much for having followed this meeting and until next time!
Distribution of points that leaves Atlético de Madrid with a worse taste in the mouth: the draw allows them to lead the classification, but with Real Madrid already one point away and Barça two. They now have three games without winning away, and as if that were not enough, Joao Félix left early due to injury. Betis, for its part, rises to sixth place with the European positions on the horizon.
FULL TIME. Real Betis, 1 – Atlético de Madrid, 1.
ANOTHER MORE OF THE ATLETI! Carrasco plays with Correa in a great inside pass, again Bravo stops him, and Vitolo hits him badly with his right hand when he rejects!
And they hunt Atleti offside in an extension, up to three mattress players glued to the goal line!
ALMOST BRAND BELT FOR ATLETI! Great play by Vrsaljko and Vitolo, pass behind the canary to Correa, and his low shot was saved by Bravo!
Last change of the game by Betis: Guido leaves, William Carvalho enters.
Carrasco put the corner at the short post, neither could Koke, Betis escaped the counterattack and Tello put a cross that the red-and-white defense knew how to retract!
Saúl hit from the crescent of the area, Betis clears a corner kick! Guido closed it.
Five minutes from the end, Atleti has not approached the local goal for a long time while Betis looks for a goal that allows them to storm the European positions.
Losses and wear and tear are taking their toll on Atleti. Trippier's physical problems are now compounded by a ball on Vrsaljko that forces him to be treated in the band, although he wanted to continue. He rejoins immediately.
Change in Atleti: Trippier leaves with back pain, enters Vrsaljko.
OBLAK STOP! Lainez had it on his first occasion in front of the door, the providential hand of the mattress goalkeeper!
Substitution Aitor Ruibal García Diego Lainez Leyva
And now Fekir's corner was touched by Bartra, who almost scored by accident because it did not look like a shot but an extension! Oblak picks it up.
Betis counterattack, three for two, Ruibal is outlined to the shot and Giménez saves the Atleti furniture by closing the space! Corner kick.
Downtown Lodi to the interior of the area, Guido closes it!
I passed Fekir's gap towards Juanmi, but it was too long and Oblak manages to get it out!
The match has been leveled after Simeone has changed the drawing.
In addition, Héctor Herrera leaves the field and Vitolo enters instead. Atleti goes on to play 4-4-2.
And double change at Atlético de Madrid. Beautiful left first, Renan Lodi enters.
Change in the ranks of Betis: Joaquín leaves, Juanmi enters. The same drawing is maintained, with the newly incorporated one as a tip.
Channels hit from the front, grazes on a defender and comes easy for Oblak to catch!
How Betis is pressing now, which is improving at times! In a loss to the counterattack Fekir puts the pass to the penalty spot and Giménez has to take it out.
AND NOW JOAQUÍN! To the center of Emerson does not arrive by very little, tries to prolong the play Tello and clears Trippier to corner!
EMERSON HAD THE SECOND BETIS! Fekir put a Brazilian-headed corner kick between two defenders, stopped by Oblak!
Now Atlético de Madrid had a corner kick from which they couldn't get anything. Simeone's men monopolize possession, waiting to be rearranged after the loss of Joao Félix.
Carrasco's foul on Guido, much protested because the player had already recovered and was about to be knocked down by Emerson.
Change at Atlético de Madrid: Joao Félix leaves due to injury, Lucas Torreira enters.
Joao Félix has taken to the field with the intention of continuing, but has been injured at the edge of the break and can not take it anymore. His ankle hurts and will have to be replaced. Problems for Atleti.
The second part begins! No substitution for both teams.
A very entertaining meeting where Atleti had the clearest chances, with a goal by Carrasco in the fifth minute, but Betis knew how to react and on their first arrival they tied through Tello. Despite the overflow of Correa, those of Simeone have not been able to get much more.
END OF THE FIRST PART. Real Betis, 1 – Atlético de Madrid, 1.
And now Joao Félix hits it from the front, Mandi closes it and the Portuguese falls in pain on the grass! The entry was correct, due to inertia he lost his balance and did not step well.
Herrera sends the ball directly into the stands.
Bartra desperately clears a dangerous Atleti center, which has already taken several approaches to try to reach the break with the score in his favor!
THE ATLETI ANSWERS! Carrasco catches the extension of Joao Félix and his hit hits the side of the net!
NOW THE BETIS HAD IT! Ruibal's ball for Emerson, Carrasco has gotten into the middle to save his team and avoids the Brazilian's shot!
ANOTHER STRAP! Cut Bartra on the baseline, the toe stick almost without angle to see if another teammate finished off, Alex Moreno blocks it with the goalkeeper already on the ground!
As the minutes go by we are experiencing more interruptions due to fouls that complicate the life of the mattress team.
What a mistake now made by Guido in the ball exit, Correa recovers in the rival field and shoots from outside the area, over the crossbar!
Herrera takes the short free kick towards Carrasco, he leaves it in space for Correa and his center is caught Bravo! It was a rehearsed action, it did not surprise the goalkeeper.
And now Atleti will have a dangerous foul near the area, committed by Mandi on Correa. Perfect for hanging at the penalty spot.
Ruibal has played the yellow card for a hard tackle on Koke, he was late to the ball. It does not go beyond the referee's warning.
This equalizer goal came from Betis' first shot on goal, which until then was more focused on defending itself against rival attacks.
BETIS GOOOOL! GOAL FROM TELLO! He took advantage of a play on the left wing, Tello had moved into the area to finish off Álex Moreno's center with his right, in mid-flight! BETIS 1 – 1 Atlético de Madrid.
Assists Alejandro Moreno Lopera
And now Carrasco falls into the local area, but the action was canceled for offside at the beginning of the play! Guido Rodríguez snatched the ball from him and his rival fell to the ground, but the action was no longer worth it.
SAUL ON HEAD! Carrasco could not overflow Emerson, but delayed the ball so that Hermoso put the center to the opposite post, and Saúl hit it close to the post! Bravo stopped him! He could have been the second of the rojiblancos!
Fekir tried to play Emerson up front, but the decisive pass went too hard!
Saúl's foul in attack on Bartra, some damage has been done when falling on the shoulder but it seems that he will be able to continue.
AND GOOOOL OF ATLETI! GOAL FROM CARRASCO! The wall has been made with Joao Félix, Correa collects the uncheck, Mandi makes the tackle but the ball bounces off the rojiblanco and Carrasco takes advantage of it to convert to an empty goal! Betis 0 – 1 ATLÉTICO DE MADRID.
Assists Ángel Martín Correa
Emerson wanted to put a low cross for Joaquin on the penalty spot, quickly cleared by the defense before it reached him.
Betis is playing with a 4-2-3-1 and Joaquín as the only striker. Atleti has already made some approaches to the area, for now without consequences, with Correa ahead of Joao Félix.
STARTS THE MATCH! Take out Atlético de Madrid!
We already have both teams on the Benito Villamarín pitch! Betis dress as always, while Atleti will play with the blue second kit. He directs the meeting Cuadra Fernández.
After having added eight consecutive victories in December 2020 and January 2021, Atlético de Madrid now only has 16 of the last 30 points at stake.
Real Betis have won five of their last six home games in La Liga, including the last three, and the last time they won four in a row like this in the competition was in April 2018 (4).
Manuel Pellegrini has led five La Liga games against Cholo Simeone, without winning any (two draws and three defeats). He has only met more times in the competition without achieving any victory over Pep Guardiola
Between Luis Suárez (19) and Marcos Llorente (9), absent in this match, they have scored 55% of the goals achieved by Atleti in La Liga this season (28 of 51).
Atlético de Madrid have only lost in one of their last 11 visits to Real Betis in LaLiga, 1-0 in February 2019 with a penalty goal from Sergio Canales. The rest, eight wins and two draws.
For Atleti, Oblak, Trippier, Savic, Giménez, Hermoso, Carrasco, Koke, Herrera, Saúl, Correa, Joao Félix (4-4-2) will play. Added to the pressure the mattress team has today are the casualties of key players such as Llorente and Luis Suárez. Instead, they get Joao Félix and Savic back.
Let's go with the initial eleven! Bravo, Emerson, Mandi, Bartra, Álex Moreno, Guido, Canales, Aitor Ruibal, Fekir, Joaquín, Tello (3-5-2) will play at Betis. The Andalusian team will not be able to count on Borja Iglesias, Guardado or Víctor Ruiz.
Greetings and welcome to a decisive match for the future of La Liga! Duel for the leadership! After the Classic, today Betis receives an Atlético de Madrid who does not want to give up the first place.
