The Andalusian group, which broke a streak of 5 video games with out successful, was very good in protection and annoyed the locals’ makes an attempt to search out an equalizer. Llorente and Bartra had been at an infinite degree. His work was joined by the protection work of the whole group, which dwarfed a Villarreal group that solely had two harmful actions with the 1-2 favorable for Betis. Sabaly took a ball below the purpose of Yeremy Pino and Bartra prevented Barry’s shot from ending up contained in the Betic purpose already within the 91st minute.

Barely something occurred between Villarreal and Betis in a fairly uninteresting first half. Everything modified within the thirty third minute, when Abde put a superb ball into the realm that Vitor Roque completed off, anticipating Bailly, a spectator of the motion. The 0-1 rewarded a extra decided Betis in opposition to a frozen Villarreal. Just one minute after the Green and White purpose, Cuadra Fernández was too rigorous in an assault by Ávila on Baena. A pink that might have been decisive within the match. Much extra so was Lo Celso’s nice free-kick proper firstly of the second half to make it 0-2.

Villarreal solely responded with a purpose from Baena, their finest exponent. Then, at 1-2, they barely had the expertise to dismantle a well-established Betis. Villarreal, grey, couldn’t benefit from Athletic’s draw within the battle for fourth place. There are actually 4 video games he hasn’t received.

“It is a very important victory against a very good team, a direct rival, after an important effort after playing on Thursday. The first half we were much superior and then we knew how to hold on,” mentioned Manuel Pellegrini, the Betis coach. “I think the referee should have reviewed the action of the red because it changes the game. It’s a trip, I think that with yellow it would be good. They should review it in the VAR. It is an unfair expulsion, although we had a lot of order afterwards. I just told him to see it, that’s why he showed me the yellow one. The VAR has to be an ally and not an enemy. If you later see it and decide that it is red, nothing happens,” he concluded.

“We started well, but Betis dominated us. He scored a goal in his first dangerous action and then they were left with 10. We had control, but we lacked depth and we conceded a foul to a specialist like Lo Celso. We scored one, they took two balls under the goalposts and they disallowed a goal by an inch. I think Betis deserved more than us,” mentioned Marcelino, Villarreal coach. “We have an issue as a result of we’re, with Valladolid, the group that concedes essentially the most targets at residence. They bought it proper and we did not. We can’t afford to make that mistake. “They have good players and we can’t always score three goals to win,” he concluded.
