Drawing in a very complex field like Benito Villamarín is a very good result, if you do it after being ahead on the scoreboard twice, it is even less so. But even though the tying goal came in the last stretch of extra time, the truth is that Betis had been superior for many minutes.
At least Celta straightens its numbers as a visitorcon Douvikas on a roll. The Greek has scored in the last three gamesbetween League and Cup. Much of his goal against Betis must be thanked to Swedbergwho assists him after an exceptional play.
As has been happening in recent days, Claudio Giráldez rotates his starting teams less. On this occasion it was Javi Rodríguez and Borja Iglesias who came in to replace Manquillo and Douvikas. Clearly the coach did not like his team in the first period because at halftime he made two exchanges.
Javi Rodriguezin the season of his debut in the First Division, debuted as a scorer. The youth player had already been close to doing so with a goal that was disallowed in the match against Valladolid.
Borja Iglesiason his return to the Benito Villamarín, spoke at the conclusion of the match: “I have always said how nice it is to play here, I feel a lot of love and appreciation for everyone. The first half was more complicated, Betis subdued us. In the second we were better, generating when we came out. The draw leaves us with the feeling that we are ready for more.”
