Osasuna chokes Betis

Osasuna received Betis with a clear objective that was none other than to achieve the first victory of the season at home. They knew that it was not going to be easy since, although behind the Navarrese in the qualifying table, the Andalusian team, which arrived with significant casualties, also did so with their credentials, such as being one of the most offensive teams in The league. The rojillos had plenty of reasons to want victory, among others, that Betis has always been their black beast.

Those from Arrasate soon made their intentions clear and some good plays allowed them to get closer to the goal defended by Bravo, while Betis was drowned by the pressure of the premises and could not braid plays with clarity. Little by little Betis got rid of the pressure and began to show their style, touching the ball. Pellegrini’s men began to warn and in the 21st minute, after a dangerous foul, Hermoso scored the first goal of the game after taking advantage of a rebound. It was difficult for the locals to rebuild after the goal. A few minutes later, Canales put Herrera to the test. A very open Osasuna managed to tie the clash in the 38th minute, through Kike García, after a spectacular wall with Torres, a play that started from the high pressure of Rubén García. With the tie at one on the scoreboard, the break was reached.

The second part began with Osasuna trying to create danger. Very involved in the game, Kike García was about to establish the two to one, but he did not finish off a great center by Rubén García. Those from Arrasate enjoyed the best minutes of the game and had few chances. Betis defended themselves and gave the reply with Fekir forcing the red goalkeeper to show off. The locals continued creating danger and Betis giving the reply. A shot by Guido Rodríguez from outside the area made Herrera shine again. The match was a round trip and Kike García had it again and then Torres. Both of them created danger in a game with a lot of rhythm. Although Osasuna had had more chances, in minute 82, Juanmi was ahead of the Betis again and already in the discount, Willian José scored the third. Although the rojillos, in general lines, were superior in terms of game and occasions, the points went to Seville.
