On Thursday of Feria of this 2025 will remain forever in the history of Betis. After a very high intensity party in the Artemio Franchi of Florence And after facing an extension agonizing, the team of Pellegrini He has managed to do the 2-1 achieved seven days ago in the first leg before the Fiorentina To, with a two -time draw, qualify for the first time for the end of a European competition, the Conference League.
The greeniblanco team was put ahead with a goal of lack of Antonythe Italians reacted with two goals from Gosensboth in slate plays from the corner. But in the extra 30 minutes of play, the Moroccan Abde He gave the Heliopolitan team the most important goal in its history in Europaat least to date. Who will lead you to the grand final of Poland of May 28. There he expects Chelseabut with this Betisthere is a license to dream.
The stopped ball, a drama in the first half
For an appointment as important as tonight, Pellegrini He did not hesitate to start with everything. The presence sharing eleven of Isco, Antony y The Celso It was a clear message from the Chilean coach, but it also had a lot to do with its intention to deactivate with a lot of ball possession the expected initial impetus of the Italians, who wanted, but could not. In fact, the first auction between the three sticks was from the Brazilian after a great staging of the Betis.
Centimeters lacked Isco at ten minutes to reach a large center of Doorstake which forced to By Gea to intervene. The Verdiblancos had the game under control. And the restlessness of the Fiorentina Before a situation that entered his plans he was palpable, with his coach, the newly renewed Palladinoconstantly correcting their players. But it was not for less because the Verdiblancos were closer and closer to a 0-1 that Broken Isco with a shot that covered the defense.
The ‘Viola’ set reacted with a counter in which Kean He left three and looked for a shot almost falling that he left out. The play had no impact on the score, but encouraged the Italians to in a corner in which Vieites went for grapes enjoyed a double occasion of Comuzzo. Sabalyfirst, and BartraThen, they took out their shots under sticks. But against it it was Antony who sought the basis of the right post of the goal of By Gea, forcing the Madrid goalkeeper to get a saving hand.
He GOAT of the Betis He had already warned a couple of times and, as the saying goes, the third was the defeated. The Celsoin Maradonian mode since last Sunday, he received a ball between the lines, he left one, turned and tried to start towards the front, but was held by the shirt. Direct missing that requested Antony and with an absolutely stratospheric hit the squad put the Verdiblancos ahead in the game and with two margin goals in the tie.
The joy lasted little for those of Pellegrini. In a corner launched by Mandrake, Gosens It anticipated Cardoso And with a precise header, crossing the ball to the second stick, put the 1-1 to turn on the stands of the Artemio Franchi. However, the reaction of the Betis to the goal against it was fantastic with two ball robberies in the opposite field that did not end inside the goal of the Fiore of miracle. TO The Celso His left -footed Cardosoassisted by Isco, crashed in the crossbar his hit.
It seemed that the 1-2 was falling, however, the stopped ball, which matches everything, went back to the aid of the team of Palladino. The corner came this time from the left side of the ‘viola’ attack, although the auctioneer was the same, Gosensto win everyone above and match the tie before the break. He Betis It had been much better, but due Tuscany… And thanks, because in another corner, Kean He also touched the third with the Testa.
De Gea saved Fiorentina
He Betis He refreshed his ideas in the intermediate and went out to the grass with the intention of not letting out the opportunity to be in the final of this Conference. He began to move the ball with patience, gathering his most talented players, and surrounding the area of the Fiorentina. But the Italians, as happened seven days ago in the Villamarinthey found in the physical strength of Kean A solution to look for the tickle to the Verdiblanca defense, which suffered more and more.
To top it off, Bartra He felt physical discomfort and had to be replaced by the young man Mendywith just three games with the first team. And although the engineer tried to balance his team more giving entry to Abdefocusing Doorstake and regardless of The Celsothe Italians little by little they were controlling and arriving with some danger with the starts of the powerful Italian striker., And above all, in each launch from the corner.
Abdein his first intervention, he enjoyed a great occasion after a double cut in the area and a shot that crashed into a defense. Antony He did not control a sensational pass from Isco and ended up finishing very forced to the hands of By Gea. The Moroccan also did not succeed to define after a theft of the ball in the opposite field. AND NATHANentering with power, headed outside the corner kick executed by Isco. Little by little the Betis I was getting the command again.
Con Ranieri causing a Antony again and again to try to get it out of the game, Isco He had a new option at half -turn after controlling the ball with his chest in the area. The two technicians began playing their particular chess game from the benches. Again in a strategy play, the team of Palladino He was about to make a goal that, five minutes from 90, could have been final. Although for occasions those that had Antony y Abde before an immeasurable OfGeathe best of your team.
The last one before an end of the game that led the qualifier to the extension was for THEY ARE GOING TO BE AT THE STUDIO. Monumental torn from Antony on the right, ball to the area and auction of the Congolese that clears again By Gea playing the physicist. It could not be and had to play half an extra hour in search of the final of Poland… nobody said it was going to be easy, although with the physicist to the limit, the carousel of changes completely distrusted the two sets, especially to Betis, without further ado than Cedric.
Abde, a goal for history
The carousel of changes in the extension distrusted the order in the two teams, especially in a Betis Without further ado than THEY ARE GOING TO BE AT THE STUDIO. But the multipurpose of the template, Ribala versatile player where there are them, served as a center striker, the position in which he played at the beginning of his career, to unrave the game. He received from his back with the centrals, giving him, turned, looked for Antony in depth and the Brazilian gave the goal to Abde.
The second part of the extension was a want and I can’t Fiorentina That, leaving estates behind the back of his midfielders, he could have conceded a third final goal. He had it Abde in one against … and had the Moroccan assisted by Isco In a play that ended with a left -footed shot. It was not necessary. The 2-2 served for those of Pellegrini They reach the first European final in its history. In Poland Wait for Chelseabut this team has earned the right to dream …
