Antony secured three points for Betis. |
In the early hours of May 5th, in the 90+1 minute away from home, Antony dribbled from the right wing into the center before unleashing a skillful left-footed curling shot that nestled into the top corner of the net, sending the Betis fans into a frenzy of joy.
Earlier in the match, Betis spent most of the game trailing. Fernandez opened the scoring for Espanyol in the 28th minute, putting Manuel Pellegrini's team in a difficult position. Despite dominating possession and taking 20 shots, their ineffective finishing left Betis struggling to find the back of the net.
It wasn't until the 85th minute that Lo Celso rekindled hope for Betis fans with an equalizer, making it 1-1. And just six minutes later, Antony staged an emotional comeback, securing a breathtaking victory for the visitors at the RCDE Stadium.
This was Antony's third goal in his last four matches across all competitions, showcasing the Brazilian striker's excellent form. Prior to this, he also scored against Valladolid and Fiorentina, making significant contributions to Betis' victories.
These three crucial points helped Betis close the gap with Villarreal to just one point. Villarreal currently sits in fifth place in La Liga, the last position to qualify for next season's Champions League. With only four rounds remaining in the league, the opportunity remains wide open for Betis.
Coach Pellegrini and his team will continue their European quest with an away trip to Italy, facing Fiorentina again in the second leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final on May 9th. In the first leg, Betis won 2-1.
