Antony defeated De Gea with a superb free kick, bringing his team into the C3 Cup final with Chelsea

TPO - Antony continues to be the "beacon" guiding Betis to glory. Early this morning, he scored a superb free kick, helping Betis win the second leg of the semi-finals.

Unlike the less meaningful match between Chelsea and Djurgarden, the second leg of the semi-final between Fiorentina and Real Betis was exciting from the start. Fiorentina were full of attacking spirit because the gap was only 1 goal and they had the home field advantage.

But Antony extinguished that momentum with a wonderful free kick in the 30th minute. From a distance of 25 meters, he sent the ball flying, circling the wall and the reach of goalkeeper De Gea before heading towards the far post and hitting the net. This was the second consecutive match that Antony scored a great goal.

Before that, he dribbled and fired an incredible shot, curling the ball up and down the corner of the A to win for Betis against Espanyol. In the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final against Fiorentina, the 25-year-old Brazilian star also scored to bring victory to his team.

Antony was congratulated by his teammates after scoring a great goal.

This time, the script was a little different. Before the end of the first half, Robin Gosens scored a double header to unexpectedly put Fiorentina ahead 2-1, thereby tying the aggregate score at 3-3. However, Antony was still the brightest star of the match.

In extra time, Antony spoke up. This time he played the role of the creator for his teammate to easily score.

Thus, Antony has scored 4 goals in the last 5 matches. He has increased the number of goals for Betis to 8 in 2 fronts La Liga and Cup C3. This is a number greater than the total goals Antony had in 3 seasons wearing MU's shirt (in the Premier League and European Cup).

It can be said that Antony is reaching his peak form in Betis' shirt. And with this striker, Betis can be confident that they will defeat Chelsea in the final on May 29.
