Evidently, One day Betis Deportivo’s second defeat had to come and there were options that it would be this Saturday in the summit confrontation against Antequera, second classified before the start of the day.
The problem is that it occurred in a painful, cruel way, in the extension of the match due to a specific error.after Arzu’s people had shot the illusion into the get ahead in the first half with a great goal from Pablo García and reach the break with an advantage. Already in the second half, Javi Medina’s men turned the score around to take the lead from the reserve team in a very close match.
From the first hour we guessed the game that was waiting for us at the Luis del Sol Sports City, with a vibrant start with chances for both teams, that, as the Antequera coach warned in STADIO, they shamelessly went out for victory. So, The Heliopolitan team warned beforehand with a chance from Carlos Reina in the 4th and a cross that Marcos Fernández narrowly missed shortly after. The visitors’ response forced Arribas to intervene provisionally and Guilherme to make a save in a one-on-one against Rubio. The goalkeeper appeared again in the 22nd minute with a spectacular hand and also after half an hour with two more saves to maintain the tie on the scoreboard.
RBetis responded with two clear opportunities for Pablo García and Souleymanewhich were the prelude to Pablo’s own goal in the extension of the first half. A real great goal that allowed the locals to go into the break with an exciting lead.
Carlos Reina was able to double the lead at the dawn of the restart, but then Antequera’s tying goal came, the work of Fomeyem in the 60th minute.
The reserve team did not blame this much, to the point that shortly afterward they almost made it 2-1 when Souleymane arrived. Arzu moved the bench to seek the desired victory and the last half hour passed with equality and few chances, until in the extension Luismi Gutiérrez took advantage of an error by Usse Diao, Assane’s brother, to score 1-2 and take the victory at the last moment. A hard blow for Betis Deportivo who, however, played a game worthy of a promotion contender.
