[Narration and statistics]

A long match was expected, with contained tension.

A vicious hostility, pinches of a nun and sidelong glances at the scoreboard.

There was too much at stake to trust everything to childish enthusiasm.

Rayo Vallecano came out severe, but not urgent.

The Oscars,

and

, gave packaging to the core.

They defended fiercely and attacked determinedly.

Betis' right wing, with a very messy and exposed

, allowed the Garcías to shine.

and

conquered his side and only the magnificent first half of

, who reached everything, avoided a scare from

.

The manacorí forward played what he knows best: Annoying the rival, looking for balls like looking for oil, digging in arid lands.

Betis was more aware of containing the danger of others than creating their own.

The 0 to 0 was a partial consolation.

And that they started warning the locals.

In the 5th minute

managed to finish off a lateral cross.

He beat

over the top and headed in well directed, but soft.

Even so, the ball bounced poisonous shortly before

took flight and the goalkeeper was about to pay for his overconfidence.

Rayo's first chance, a cross from Álvaro that went straight to Guardiola's expectant forehead, was disrupted by Édgar.

The central defender of the quarry has not stopped growing so far this season.

His young hierarchy, his display, apparently troubled, cannot detract from a defender who, when he has left, has fulfilled;

with a veteran job.

The clearest chance in the first half was for

, who was experiencing a magical moment.

In the 36th he rushed to the baseline and crossed to the heart of the area.

Mario Suárez cleared as well as he could and the ball was close to slipping under Luca's legs, who sighed when he managed to catch the ball on the lime.

and

did not understand each other and

was absent, like lettuce on a grill.

and

battled for a hole in the central circle and

and

they brushed against each other sparkling along the flank of the southpaws.

Many things happened, but nothing transcendent.

Hoarse stands and two teams barking without biting, attacking with wilted joy.

Lightning Rush

The second half accelerated, with a slightly more vertical Rayo, fighting against Betis, against itself and against an inclement clock.

His offensives died in the surroundings of

's area .

It lacked power, jaw and intention.

Betis took advantage of the spaces and played with more comfort in the opposite field.

Despite the spaces, their attacks were lazy and horizontal, waiting for the goal as rain is expected, with that docility.

Patient and naive.

shook the bench in the 60th minute

and

entered the grass rectangle.

His intention: to populate the vanguard.

Accumulate men in the medullary, appease the Betic harassment by cementing the creation zones.

Pellegrini

was patient and waited.

"Calm down," he repeated from the band.

The advantage was his.

They were not going to look for the goal of tranquility, they were going to wait for Rayo to launch desperately to look for their liver.

Meanwhile, trompe l'oeil of danger.

A long shot by Carvalho in the 70th went just over the crossbar.

A shot from Fekir that died in Luca's chest.

A left-footed shot from Canales that sought the visiting goal's squad.

And the fatigue, which weighed more on the red-haired legs.

Betis, dull, hugged the second hand.

Rayo gave everything in his changes.

and

came on to score the goal that forced extra time.

And it was the Brazilian who got it.

The lack of him, powerful and well placed, beat Bravo.

came in

.

Borja Iglesias entered.

And no one gave up.

There was time to make amends.

In minute 91, when Rayo was waiting for extra time to catch his breath, Joaquín assisted Canales, Canales dodged Zidane and crossed into the area where Iglesias angrily finished off straight into the net.

A goal that is a final.

Tears of joy among the fans.

Champagne and Reflex.

Hope and glory.
