Antony brought 3 points for Betis. |
Early morning of May 5, in the 90+1 minute on the away field, Antony dribbled the ball from the right wing to the center, before skillfully curling the ball with his left foot, straight into the top corner of the goal, causing the away team Betis fans to burst into joy.
Before that, Betis spent most of the match behind. Fernandez opened the scoring for Espanyol in the 28th minute, putting coach Manuel Pellegrini and his team in a difficult position. Despite dominating the ball and launching 20 shots, Betis' ineffective ability to take advantage of opportunities left them stuck in a deadlock in finding a way into the opponent's goal.
It wasn't until the 85th minute that Lo Celso rekindled hope for Betis fans with an equalizer to make it 1-1. And just 6 minutes later, Antony created an emotional comeback, bringing a thrilling victory for the away team right at RCDE Stadium.
This was Antony's third goal in the last four matches in all competitions, showing the Brazilian striker's high form. Before that, he also scored against Valladolid and Fiorentina, contributing greatly to Betis' victories.
The three important points helped Betis narrow the gap with Villarreal to just 1 point. Villarreal is currently holding 5th place in La Liga, the last place to qualify for next season's Champions League. With only 4 rounds left to finish the tournament, the opportunity is still wide open for Betis.
Coach Pellegrini and his team will continue their journey to conquer Europe by visiting Italy, meeting Fiorentina again in the second leg of the Europa Conference League semi-finals on May 9. In the first leg, Betis won 2-1.
