We said goodbye after having told you everything that happened in this meeting, thank you for joining us, see you soon.
With little time to rest, as is customary in this restart of LaLiga, both will play their next match next Wednesday. Real Betis will host Villarreal at home and Levante will visit Real Valladolid.
In the second half, more of the same. Real Betis proposed again but without success and it was Levante who scored again with a goal by Morales and another by Rubén Rochina for 4-0. Alexis's team could not lower their arms despite the difference in the scoreboard to try to avoid the win. Canales cut distances in 70 and Juanmi put the final 4-2 in 87.
Comfortable match for the whole of Paco López once he was ahead on the scoreboard. The visitors left with intention but Mayoral overtook Levante and the road was smoothed even more with Bardhi's goal and 2-0 at the break.
END OF THE MEETING. Levante win 4-2 and reach 41 points.
Roger falls in the area against Borja Iglesias and claims a penalty but the game was invalidated for offside.
Jorge Miramón opens to the right towards Campaña but the ball goes too far and is lost on the side, Betis recovers.
The regulatory time has already been met at Camilo Cano although the referee has added seven more minutes to this second period.
And one more card for Alexis' team, now for Borja Iglesias.
Juanmi scores again in LaLiga after doing it for the last time more than a year ago, in April 2019 against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Since his injury in September, he had not played again until June 20, when he was able to play four minutes against Athletic.
The referee is consulting to confirm the validity of Juanmi's goal and he considers it good.
Last change in Levante, Radoja leaves and Rober Pier enters the field.
GOOOL Levante 4 – REAL BETIS 2. Feddal's header that Aitor Fernández fails to successfully tackle and Juanmi appears to score the second goal for his team.
Another card for Real Betis that already has three, now for William Carvalho.
Change in the green and white outfit, Nabil Fekir retires from the field of play and Diego Lainez enters.
The visiting team tries to take advantage of the remaining minutes, which are already few, to try to score one more goal, although they know that the equalizer is very difficult with three goals behind.
Fekir puts it from the right but the ball hits an opponent, the later center of Canales is finished by Carvalho above the goal of Aitor Fernández.
GOAL VOIDED TO THE LEVANTE. The former player from the Verdiblanco team Sergio León scores but the referee cancels the action for offside, the goal does not go up to the scoreboard.
Less than 15 minutes for regulatory time to be met on the Camino Cano, Levante continues to command 4-1 on the scoreboard.
Aitor Fernández saves after a shot by Juanmi! The action had been initiated on a free kick taken by Canales but the play was invalidated for offside.
Paco López also makes a move, giving Sergio León instead of Borja Mayoral.
And another change at Real Betis, Loren retires and Borja Iglesias enters.
GOOAA Levante 4 – REAL BETIS 1. Real Betis cuts the gap with a goal from Canales that controls it in the area after a pass by Feddal and hits Aitor Fernández with a powerful shot.
Zouhair Feddal assists
Four shots on goal for each team in this match, with the difference that Real Betis have not managed to open the scoring with them and Levante have all turned it into a goal.
If this result is confirmed, already quite clear in favor of the locals, Alexis Trujillo will suffer his first defeat at the head of Real Betis. The current coach of the Verdiblanco team faced Levante six times as a player, all of them in the Smartbank League, four with Las Palmas and two with the University of Las Palmas, and only lost one of them (2V 3E 1D).
And Roger Martí enters the field in place of Morales.
Bardhi retires from the field of play and Hernani enters it.
Triple change in Levante, Rochina leaves and Melero enters.
This is Rubén Rochina's fourth goal this season and equals the many he scored in LaLiga the previous season. He is still two goals away from matching his best record in a season in the top flight, six with Granada in 2015/16.
The game for Real Betis did not look so bad at all as it has been given when there is still half an hour to go. Paco López's team has already scored four goals that every time he gets closer to Joel's goal is to do a lot of damage to the rival.
GOOOOL LEVANTE 4 – Real Betis. Action by Bardhi left wing towards Clerc that delays, shoots Rochina, rejects Feddal and the ball reaches Rubén Rochina again who scores the fourth for the granotas.
Shot from Fekir that goes over the goal of Aitor Fernández.
Substitution Marc Bartra Aregall José Andrés Guardado Hernández
Morales sneaks into the area but loses the ball to Feddal, the verdiblanco team that tries to leave for the opposite goal recover.
Levante again scored three goals in a league game, he did it two days ago at home against Espanyol but at home he did not achieve it since December 22, 2019 in the 3-1 against Celta de Vigo.
Once again, the good intentions of this restart have been of little help to the team of Alexis Trujillo since Levante has increased their income with the goal of Morales, who has scored four goals in total in his last four league matches with the Verdiblancos.
GOOOL LEVANTE 3 – Real Betis 0. Filtered pass from Campaña to Morales who dribbles past, dribbles Joel and scores on empty target.
Assists José Ángel Gómez Campaign
Once again the Verdiblanco team comes out onto the pitch with intention, just as they did at the beginning of the match.
GOAL CANCELED BY BETIS. The referee cancels Juanmi for Loren's offside position when receiving the pass from Canales.
Shot by Fekir that Aitor Fernández clears with his feet.
THE SECOND TIME STARTS IN CAMILO CANO.
And Guido Rodríguez retires from the field to leave his post to Cristian Tello.
Double change at Betis in the interim, Barragán leaves and Juanmi enters.
Levante waited for their opportunity and opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a goal from Borja Mayoral. Betis continued to find him but received a new goal in the 35th with the goal by Bardhi that became 2-0 for those of Paco López.
Real Betis began the match with intensity and reached the opposite goal on a couple of occasions without success and with great confidence from Aitor Fernández under fire when he had to intervene.
REST IN CAMILO CANO.
Yellow card to Barragán for hitting Campaña in the jump.
Last bars of this first half and Levante are on the scoreboard with two goals difference thanks to goals from Mayoral and Bardhi, the encounter with Alexis Trujilllo's team has been very difficult despite their good feelings at the start of the clash.
Rochina kicks the ball after touching Bardhi lightly but the ball hits the wall.
First yellow card of the match, Feddal sees it for a foul on Mayoral.
Paco López's team extends their advantage, lethal so far in their arrivals at the opposite goal, as demonstrated a few minutes ago in Bardhi's goal.
GOOOL LEVANTE 2 – Real Betis 0. Rochina's ball that opens towards Bardhi and he accommodates her in the area and beats Joel Robles.
Assists Rubén Rochina Naixes
The game resumes at Camilo Cano, we will see how the remaining minutes in this first half elapse, if Betis is able to equalize the score or if Levante maintains their advantage.
The first half hour of play is over and play stops for the hydration break. Paco López gives instructions to his players, so does Alexis Trujillo, who has seen how his team has come out well to the match but is currently losing.
Very soft shot by Fekir that Aitor Fernández saves easily.
It was the Verdiblanco team that had most sought the goal in the early stages but we had been warning that Levante could give it a scare as it has been and those of Paco López are already on the scoreboard thanks to Mayoral's goal.
New for Mayoral who already knew what it was to score at the restart of the league season as he scored in his team's victory against Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.
GOOOL LEVANTE 1 – Real Betis 0. Borja Mayoral escapes on the left wing, stands before Joel and beats him achieving his seventh goal in LaLiga this season.
Assists Sergio Postigo Redondo
At the moment, five shots from Real Betis, although only one of them on goal, are still around the goal for the Verdiblancos.
Very good start to the game of Real Betis as we have been saying although for the moment the Verdiblanco team has not managed to move the marker although beware of Levante that has also given a feeling of danger in the two actions in which it has reached the opposite goal.
Aitor stop! Loren plays with a header in the area and Canales hunts the volley that saves the Levante goal with a good intervention.
A long shot by Barragán that hits Clerc's body, he tried from outside the area but without success. Levante was trying to get out but Alexis's team recovered the ball again.
Campaign out! Now I have had Levante in a good Campaign action that advances alone leaving several rivals and its shot goes off very close to Palol.
Clear mastery of the ball from the Verdiblancos after the first nine minutes of the match, around 76% against Levante who have appeared very little at the moment.
Álex Moreno did not arrive just a little! Good action between Barrragán and Fekir on the right that Aitor Fernández touches and Álex Moreno does not manage to arrive just to finish at the far post.
The group of Alexis Trujillo insists, which is the one that has taken the initiative in these first stages of the meeting. As we mentioned in the previous one, both are in a quiet area of the table but there is still one more step to mathematically ensure permanence.
Now touch the visiting team in the midfield area, looking for spaces to be able to generate danger before the opposite goal.
Fekir falls into the area in action with Postigo! The Betis players claim a penalty but the referee indicates that it is a goal kick in favor of the locals.
Bardhi out! Shot by the Macedonian player from Levante who leaves the goal off Joel Robles. First notice of the local set.
Álex Moreno cross from the left looking for Loren but clears the defense.
THE MEETING BEGINS.
At Real Betis, regarding Alexis' first lineup in the last game against Espanyol. Sidnei enters through Feddal and Emerson, neither Guardado nor Pedraza, are penalized; Barragán, Álex Moreno and Carvalho enter. Loren enters Borja Iglesias to accompany Fekir upstairs.
Quite a few changes in the Paco López team compared to the last game against Atlético de Madrid. There is no Coke or Toño García or Bruno and Miramón, Clerc and Postigo come in their place. Vukcevic, by sanction, leaves his post to Campaña, and the two men above change and today they are Mayoral and Morales instead of Roger and Sergio León.
Betis has Emerson removed for this match, who is serving a penalty for accumulating yellow cards and for the same reason Vukcevic will not be in the Valencia team either.
At Real Betis the starting eleven is made up of Joel Robles, Bartra, Sidnei, Feddal, Barragán, Álex Moreno, Canales, Guido Rodríguez, William Carvalho, Loren and Fekir.
The alignments of both sets are already known. Levante forms with Aitor Fernández, Miramón, Rubén Vezo, Postigo, Clerc, Rochina, Campaña, Radoja, Bardhi, Mayoral and Morales.
Pending issue for the Verdiblanco team is to have more success in front of goal in their league matches as a visitor. Real Betis have only managed to score three goals away from home in LaLiga in 2020, all of them with the participation of Nabil Fekir, with one goal and two assists. He has not scored away from home since February against Valencia.
Levante have only been able to beat Betis twice in the last 11 matches in LaLiga (two draws and seven defeats) although they defeated him in the last one that he played against the Verdiblancos at home by a clear 4-0 in April 2019.
The Sevillian team hopes to continue taking off after a streak of 10 league games in which they only achieved one victory (four draws and five defeats) and that marked the end of the Rubi era. The first step with Alexis has already been taken thanks to that triumph in the first match of his return to the bench of which he was already interim in May 2017.
They face Real Betis facing their second meeting with Alexis Trujillo on the bench after a 1-0 victory against Espanyol last Thursday. Both teams are in the middle of the table, Levante 12th with 38 points and Real Betis 13th with 37.
Another appointment for Levante in which their new stage is being in this restart of the competition, Camilo Cano de La Nucía where they have already played two games, the 1-1 against Sevilla and the 0-1 defeat against Atlético Madrid, so those of Paco López seek their first victory in this fief.
Good afternoon and welcome to live with us this first Sunday confrontation on the 32nd day of LaLiga that faces Levante and Real Betis.
