A goal from

Borja Iglesias

, who came from scoring a decisive double in the Copa del Rey, was enough for Betis to get rid of an Osasuna who wasted several clear chances against

Joel Robles

.

The inspiration of the Verdiblanco goalkeeper in the first half against

Jonathan Calleri

was key for

Manuel Pellegrini's team

, which has scored 14 points in the last six days and is back in the fight for European places.

[Narration and statistics (1-0)]

The closing of the 20th day of LaLiga lit up an even match, where the locals had to wait 80 minutes to impose their highest technical quality.

In fact, during the initial stage, the best chances were for the Navarrese team, frustrated by Calleri's little inspiration.

Betis threatened with a header from

Loren Morón's

post

and another arrival from the youth squad, who failed to finish off before the departure of Sergio Herrera.

The guidelines did not change after the break, with an approach by Osasuna in the head of

Rubén García

and the well-known reply of Calleri before Joel.

In any case, Betis showed the best of their football in the final stretch, already with

William Carvalho

on the pitch.

First he could define with a shot from

Cristian Tello

and later with another from

Alex Moreno

.

Borja Iglesias, who had replaced Loren in the 58th minute, made the difference by taking advantage of a beautiful pass into space from the former Barcelona footballer.

The result could be completed with two more actions by the Andalusian team, with

Nabil Fekir

and, again, Borja Iglesias, who failed to score a goal from long distance to empty goal.

The best asset of the

Jagoba Arrasate team

to start a point was an arrival from

Unai García

.

Despite the setback, the rojillos remain out of the relegation places, equaled 19 points with Alavés.
