After five games in a row without a victory in the league, Real Betis won at home this Saturday against Granada (1-0, 20th day).

How laborious it was, but how important this success is for Betis. In great difficulty recently and remaining on a sad series of six matches without a victory, in all competitions, Nabil Fekir and his partners won by forceps this Saturday, on the occasion of the reception of Granada (1-0, 20th day).

But even against this poorly ranked team, penultimate in La Liga at kick-off, Béticos had to work hard. Certainly, they had infinitely more shots on the clock than their opponents (25 to 6), but as far as attempts on target were concerned, it was something else (6 to 2). No goals in the first period and it was finally Isco who opened the scoring at the dawn of the last quarter of an hour (1-0, 76th).

Not far from Europe

Almost no time to celebrate for Betis with a hot shot six minutes later, but Matias Arezo’s goal for Granada was refused for offside (82nd). Winners at the final whistle, the Sevillian players can breathe easy. Seventh, they are one point behind Europe and sixth place occupied by Real Sociedad. As for Granada, they remain deep in the red zone and are five points behind the first non-relegation place (Sevilla FC).
