REAL SOCIEDAD 2-BETIS 2 Joaquin takes away the glory from Isak

Five minutes were enough for Betis to achieve an agonizing draw at the Reale Arena with which they continue their good dynamics. Five minutes were left over for Real to get a victory that it seemed they had in their pocket and that they let slip in an incomprehensible way. It was the fault of a veteran hardened in a thousand battles who did not have much prominence in recent days, the great Joaquín, who unleashed himself in the last five minutes giving Canales a luxury assist, and scoring the tying goal with great suspense. And because the game ended soon, because the inertia seemed to lead Betis to victory, while Real fell apart like a sugar cane throwing away 80 good minutes of the game in which it seemed that, even, it was going to end up beating the Betis team . The goals of a splendid Isak and Mikel Oyarzabal foreshadowed it. But that's how football is, crazy and wonderful, you can never take it for granted. Let them look but this game. 80 minutes from the Real. 5 of Betis. Tie two. The general rehearsal for the Cup ended without a winner, although Betis may seem morally so. For the Real, the tie can calmly know defeat.

As expected, the duel started as a battle for the ball. The ex realist Canales was the channel of the Betis game, helped by Fekir; while Merino with Guridi between the lines assumed responsibility for the attack by the txuri-urdin. The Verdiblanco team seemed to enter the game better, although they lacked punch in the final meters. Some of the imagination of Lainez on the right, and shots from the edge of Fekir that Remiro had no problems to stop, although they did generate uncertainty about the realistic goal. And La Real, for its part, was feeling better and better, as the minutes passed, although it lacked some fluidity and speed in the last meters. Although it was enough for him the flashes of Merino, the criteria of an imperial Guevarq in the engine room and a Guridi who did a lot of damage between the lines and had the best chance of the first half. The Azpeitiarra got off the hook very well from the second row to finish off a good service from Merino inside the area, but Joel Robles was superb clearing the ball to a corner. It was the highlight of a first half that was like a null fight awaiting the outcome after the break.

La Real was the one who took command of operations as soon as he returned from changing rooms. The party's march changed. Isak began to do mischief, Merino to walk freely in three-quarter lines, Guridi did not stop running, while Oyarzabal and Portu arrived with more and more danger. This is how Isak's 1-0 came with justice after finishing off a series of rejections inside the area. And so Oyarzabal's goal also came after a wonderful assist from Isak and a no less plastic shot from Eibar. La Real overwhelmed a knocked out Betis. But the royalists did not finish off their rival when he was lying on the canvas. They could do it with very clear chances, and the goal of the sentence was resisted in an incredible way. Nor was there anything that foreshadowed that the game was going to change. But the changes came and everything was revolutionized. Joaquín left, and they already know that the devil knows more as an old man than as a dog. Or something like that. The fact is that he disguised himself as a hero, threw Betis on his back, and tied the game. It seemed incredible. Perfect assistance to channels. And a rogue goal ahead of all realistic defenders. And 2-2. Seeing is believing. This is football. In Donostia they still rub their eyes. In Seville it is difficult for them to believe it. Normal. Distribution of points in the verdiblancos final madness, after 80 minutes of blue and white.
