Copa del Rey The quarterfinals
Juanmi
did not celebrate
his goals. He raised his hands in both and apologized to his fans, who were now silent in the stands of the Reale Arena. He was a sweet executioner. It was the key for his team to access the semifinals of the
Copa del Rey
after beating
Real Sociedad
(0-4) . The visitors won without rhetoric, with transparent and sharp football. Like those broken glass set in the low walls. An unexpected threat when they seem easier to overcome. Real
Betis plays as
Pellegrini
sees the field
: with an affected pause, with deceptive docility. But, inside, a beast that competes every minute as if life depended on it.
It was the 11th minute of the first half when the Verdiblanco team took advantage.
The game was just a soft boxing in the midfield.
William Carvalho
he got tired of the mellow, he invented the danger, he looked for the rival liver.
She did everything.
An angry combination.
He dribbled out of the area, looked for support, lost the ball, harassed the defender, recovered the power of the ball and assisted his striker, who scored.
The midfielder born in Angola is a capital in Pellegrini's system.
He has a bewildering, swinging football, but when he shows up, the dance floor opens up for him like in a 1970s movie.
Carvalho walks passed out, dies and is reborn a thousand times in just ninety minutes.
An ash bird.
An uproar, suddenly.
One of those footballers anointed by the goddesses of disorder and unpredictable talent.
disallowed goal
It took ten minutes for Real to react.
Oyarzabal
devised a long shot that
Rui Silva
, well placed, repelled to a corner kick.
The Portuguese goalkeeper, with the same opponent, was the protagonist in minute 25. The winger shot low and powerful, but a strong mitt prevented the goal.
They were good minutes for
Imanol Alguacil
's men .
Betis napped after the goal.
Le Normand
headed the post for a good assist.
The hostility was constant.
Lateral centers, intense, fast transitions.
The verdiblancos kept their composure as best they could.
In the 38th minute, Oyarzabal conquered a ball on the left cheek of the area, crossed blindly into the area and
Januzaj
, faster than the others, caught the pass and angrily beat
Silva
.
Because it was required offside, by just a few centimeters, due to mathematical cruelty, and of course with the help of the VAR, because without the meticulousness of the machine everything would have been legal, the referee
Martínez Munuera
annulled the goal.
This was the future, a robot sport.
In 1944,
Remiro
prevented the tragedy that he himself had caused.
He cleared short,
Canales
recovered the ball on the outskirts of the area, gave it to
Borja Iglesias
, who gave it deep to
Fekir
.
The Frenchman, alone in front of the goal, shot low and powerful, but Remiro, who came out with everything to cover the shot, cleared with his toe.
This is how the first part ends.
With Real overturned, but with Betis creating more danger.
Asymmetric jaws.
After the snack,
Zubimendi
replaced
Guevara
.
In the verdiblancos there were no changes.
Edgar
, who slowed down the creation of his own since his performance, out of necessity, as a pivot, continued on the pitch.
To compensate, Canales and Carvalho delayed their position to raise the ball more cleanly, to look for Fekir more clearly.
Rui Silva
Real Sociedad came out determined for the draw, but
Rui Silva
scared away the dreams of others with the latex of his gloves.
What a stop he made to
Isak
.
Have someone print it for you, hang it in the living room.
The archer, with a changed hand, occupied nothingness with just his faith.
He threw himself for a ball that was not for him.
He dove for a ball that belonged in the net.
The intervention turned the local hope upside down.
The fangs were filed.
In the 58th minute, a counterattack gave the Andalusians a definitive advantage.
Canales broke through the defense with a pass to
Álex Moreno
.
The side reached the lime and passed Juanmi who nailed it with his left foot, impossible for Remiro.
The game ended with that goal.
Betis waited with strength and Real's changes did not fan the flame, which were barely embers and timid light.
In the 81st minute, a handball by
Zaldua
was sanctioned with a penalty.
The pitadísimo Willian José asked for the ball and signed the armistice of silence with a goal.
Aitor Ruibal
, who had barely been in the rectangle for ten minutes, embellished the score for his team when the clock almost signaled the end.
Real Betis takes another step towards the Cup, embracing the hope of its colours, with solid, future and exciting football.
