As part of the 26th day of La Liga, Real Betis, seventh at kick-off, welcomed Bilbao, fifth, to the Benito Villamarin. A meeting which started perfectly for Manuel Pellegrini’s men after Luis Ezequiel Avila opened the score (1-0, 13th). In front of the scoreboard, the locals even doubled the lead when the unfortunate Yuri Berchiche deceived his own goalkeeper (2-0, 38th).
With their backs to the wall, Bilbao would make their task a little more complicated with a new warning received by Nico Williams, sent off just before the break (40th). Despite this numerical inferiority, the Basques reacted in added time of the first act and Gorka Guruzeta gave his team hope (2-1, 45+7th). Returning from the locker room, Johnny Cardoso finally gave Real Betis a two-goal lead (3-1, 67th) who were not going to give up. With this result, Real Betis climbs to 6th place and comes back 7 lengths from its opponent of the day.
