Match preview

Real Betis, a club that is playing in the top-flight La Liga, and Valladolid, a club from the second division, are obviously not equal in form. However, despite playing in Segunda, Valladolid are standing third in the league table with only five points fewer than the top club. Valladolid have also been successful in recent games, with four wins in the four latest matches, and 10 consecutive unbeaten games in their home ground. 

Real Betis, also being judged higher, are under high pressure with two recent losses. Fortunately, they still remain third standing in the 2021-22 La Liga table with 13 points fewer than the table-leading club, Real Madrid

It is quite hard to say which team will win this game because both have pros and cons.

Line-ups   

  • Valladolid: 13 Roberto, 4 Kiko Olivas, 6 Quierós, 9 Weissman, 17 Roque Mesa, 19 Toni Villa, 21 Olaza, 23 Cristo, 25 Anuar, 38 Víctor Narro, 46 Fresneda.
  • Real Betis: 1 Joel Robles, 19 Bellerín, 5 Bartra, 3 Edgar, 15 Edgar, 15 Alex Moreno, 21 Guido Rodríguez, 14 William, 24 Aitor Rubial, 11 Tello, 8 Fekir, 9 Iglesias.

Real Betis demonstrated their ability to get the third Copa del Rey

When the game started for several minutes, it could be clear to see that the away team had the ball for longer. However, they couldn’t really create any dangerous shots to score the opening goal. 

Until the 24th minute, William Carvalho scored for Betis to take the first lead over the home club thanks to the cutback shot of this Portuguese midfielder.

Soon after, Nabil Fekir brought the second goal for Real Betis in the 27th minute. He was the player who was responsible for a direct free-kick and Ferik nailed the shot from the first touch to the ball to the corner of the goal that made goalkeeper Roberto impossible to stop it.

Within three minutes, the visitors doubled the gap with the home team without conceding any goals. Lucas Olaza from Real Valladolid had several attempts before the first half ended, but they were an inaccurate shot and another one was handled by the goalkeeper from Real Betis. 

The second half started with the temporary 0-2 score for Real Betis. In the 49th minute, Betis almost lost one goal due to a mistake from Robles, but fortunately, Fresneda was quite rushed in this shot and the ball went over the top of the goal. The next minute, the away team had a great counter-attack that paid off and ended up with their third goal by Borrja Iglesias.

It was intended to be a shot from Aitor Ruibal to score from the right corner. However, the ball didn’t pierce the net but reached Iglesias’s foot and his narrow shot from the box was successful to bring the third goal for Betis.

In the next minutes, both clubs used their rights for substitutions, but it didn’t change the final score. Real Betis ended up with three goals in the away ground. 

With this result, Valladolid are automatically eliminated from the 2021-22 Copa del Rey after the round of 32. On the other hand, Real Betis got the ticket to the next round, the round of 16, along with Ponferandina, Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Valencia, Barcelona, Atletico Baleares, Rayo Vallecano, and Real Madrid.
