Betis rules and brand
Betis had it very clear from the first moments. He had to activate his people showing a little of the fang that characterizes the team in the games he plays at home.

Bakambu beat the left -handed central of the viola and then the duel to Comuzzo. With the controlled ball and before De Gea, he saw Abde enter the other band. With suspense, many nerves and some distrust of the premature celebration of the end, the Villamarín was able to celebrate the first of the party.

Kean changed the game. His admission released Mandragora and his presence forced the couple of bética plants to be very attentive.
Lo Celso entered the game so that Betis recovered the domain of the ball and its impact came earlier. The Argentine stole a committed ball, did not give in to the rival grabs and successfully drove a dangerous backlash. Antony received very open and faced the goal shot. The chut of the Carioca crashed in the rear viola But the ‘7’ hooked the rejection with a volley that destroyed the cobwebs of the left squad, 2-0. Fornals was able to finish off the tie after a Betis game two minutes later, but his shot was soft and in the middle.
In the worst moment of Fiore, a Ruibal error put Palladino’s in the tie. Gosens beat his back to the local right side and enabled Ranieri to bathe Vieites.
The goal of the goal threw back to the Sevillians and raised the Fiorentinos, but as in the first half, Betis finished the game threatening the goal of De Gea.
