  Narration and statistics
  

It's being a weird day. Atletico, Sevilla, Valencia and Real Sociedad have lost four defeats that compress the European zone and encourage the hopes of those who arrive behind. One of them is Betis, who discovers himself three points (could be four) of the Europa League positions when not so long ago he flirted with the low zone and Rubi sat the rope of the dismissal practically tied to the neck. The brakes of three consecutive wins were halted by three other duels without victory, but Betis has known how to resume the right path by defeating the Royal Society with solvency and conviction.

Those of Imanol Sheriff They suffered a recurring evil. In a favorable party context, they are able to deploy a brilliant football to anyone who faces them. When they have to go to tow, however, they find it too difficult to find game alternatives. Before Betis, they were not able to turn over a poor first half, and ended up beaten 3-0 thanks to a last goal by Canales in the discount. He enjoyed many more alternatives the Real after the break, but the Andalusian team showed that he also knows how to defend himself effectively when he touches him, thus finding the prize of the three points.

The clashes between these two teams tend to be electric and very entertaining. In recent seasons they have seen a 3-3, a 4-4, a 2-3, a 5-1 … Both are characterized by being bold and dynamic teams, which favors the spectacle and enjoyment, especially for The neutral fan. This Sunday, they demonstrated both from the beginning that they were willing to travel the usual path, displaying a great rhythm in the initial minutes, concretized on a occasion of Joaqun and another of Odegaard.

The passage of minutes was settling Betis and blurring the Real. The Andalusian team manages to do a lot of damage for the bands, especially for the Aihen Muoz, which covers the absence of Monreal, left side holder for Sheriff. It was the sides who opened the field so that the four midfielders who played ahead of give They will look for superiorities in the inner zone. In defense, Betis covers the spaces with order and coordination, denying the Royal the options to combine to reach dangerous positions.

Mikel Merino's crossbar

That growing superiority of Rubi's was rewarded in a corner kick when the first half hour of the meeting was about to be completed. Borja Iglesias He rose above Zaldua and Merino and connected a header to which Remiro could do little. The goal left the Real and gave wings to Betis, who before the break signed the second. Oyarzabal Eri a control in a throw-in by Aihen and Emerson, very attentive to the situation, took advantage of it to steal the ball. I received the Joaqun ball at the penalty spot and from there I beat Remiro.

Portu put the ball in the goalkeeper of Joel in the first half discount, but did so starting from a clear offside that did not escape the attention of the assistant. Already after the break, Real grew up in the game because he knew how to make a much more effective pressure on the exit of Betis ball, although his best chance was a shot from Mikel Merino from the center of the field that hit the crossbar. Zaldua had another one, but as it had happened minutes before to lex Moreno, he was noticed in excess that he is lateral and not forward when he had to define without opposition in the area.

Sheriff moved the bench in search of solutions, giving entry to Barrenetxea Y Willian Jos (in that order, surprisingly) by Isak and Portu, who before leaving had a clear one in a pass behind Zaldua. However, the set 'txuriurdin' was unable to approach the scoreboard, even generating clear opportunities to do so. With the Real already overturned in search of an impossible, Betis sell his magnificent midday thanks to a bit of Channels in the 95th minute.
