Betis Seville offered a historic qualification for the final of the conference League after a draw torn off in overtime against Fiorentina (2-2 AP) on Thursday evening. Coming into play in the 58th minute, Abde Ezzalzouli once again confirmed his luxury joker status. The Moroccan arose at the right time, in overtime, to score the purpose of the delivery (97th), well served by Antony, already a scorer in the first period. This goal allows Betis to validate its ticket for the first European final in its history, after a 2-1 success in Florence. The inspiration of Ezzalzouli, coupled with Antony’s efficiency, was decisive for making a catchy but poorly rewarded Fiorentina folded.
Opposite, the Lion of the Atlas Amir Richardson had entered the resumption (46th), with the aim of densifying the environment and bringing more verticality to the Florentin game. Despite her efforts, Fiorentina, who thought she had made the hardest thanks to a double of Robin Gosens in the first period, ended up falling under Andalusian pressure. The Italians, already finalist unhappy in 2023 and 2024, once again see their European dreams fly away. The Betis will face Chelsea on May 28 in Wroclaw to try to register his name in the list of the conference league.
