Alavés portrayed Betis’ bad moment with a wonderful victory against the Andalusian team, in the midst of a decline. Manuel Pellegrini is experiencing his worst moment on the Andalusian bench and cannot find solutions to the decline of a team that, between injuries and poor performance, is moving away from its European aspirations. Alavés won with absolute justice, helped by the expulsion of Perraud in the 55th minute for a challenge on Carlos Vicente being the last man. Between Carlos Vicente and Kike García, a star, they put an end to this sad Betis. The forward scored a hat trick and was a continuous headache for the green and white team’s defense. Only with the score at 1-1 was Isco able to make it 2-1 after an error in Abqar’s pass. Owono won the action against Betic with great solvency. Alavés, with this great victory, leaves the relegation places. At Betis everything is painful. It has only 25 points, its fans left Benito Villamarín before the end and, above all, , something that is felt a lot in the capital of Andalusia. Part of the fans, in addition, took it out on the Betis leaders and the players, overcome by the adverse result.

Every game in First Division is a battle. Teams destined to fight for Europe, like Betis, in a delicate moment, suffer greatly against rivals like Alavés, with water up to their necks. and Leganés, the Basque team faced the clash in relegation positions. And those are big words. From the first minute it was shown that Alavés’ need was greater than Betis’s presumed football. Vitor Roque fell asleep after two minutes. Betis itself also remained asleep, assaulted by the anticipation and faith of Coudet’s team. Adrián stopped Guridi after 10 minutes Bartra committed a clear penalty on Kike García. The striker scored against the stretch of Adrián, a 38-year-old goalkeeper who was once again a starter in the League with Betis 11 years and eight months later.
Alavés took control of the match and even came close to making it 0-2. Hernández Hernández gave a penalty in an action by Bartra (in very poor form) again on Kike García. The VAR commissioned him to review the action and the referee changed his decision. Betis was saved. Also because Jesús García took a shot out of nowhere from the edge of the area that entered Owono’s goal after hitting the post. First goal for the 19-year-old youth squad in the League. The only thing that the green and white team in a discreet first half.
Hernández Hernández had no mercy on Perraud in the 55th minute. It was after a free kick in the Alavés area. The ball went over the baseline when Owono put it into play. The action, which is not reviewable, continued. Perraud stopped Carlos Vicente’s race and saw the red. Alavés, with one more, dominated the situation and little by little approached the Betic area. Saved by Owono, he found reward in a good shot by Kike García that beat Adrián. Betis collapsed, its fans abandoned it and Kike García scored the third to end a ghost. Great, and defeat for Betis, lost in the middle of the classification.
