Following the 8th day of La Liga, Real Betis welcomed the Espanyol Barcelona club to Andalusia, on the lawn of the Benito Villamarín stadium. A rather balanced match which was ultimately won by the locals, more efficient and realistic in front of goal. Indeed, with the late opener of Giovani Lo Celso (85th), the Verdiblancos pocketed three precious points, while Ez Abde missed a penalty in the first period.
In the ranking, Real Betis temporarily climbs to 8th place, while Espanyol continues its fall towards the red zone with this worrying 17th position. Next weekend, the Verdiblancos will face the Sevilla FC Riva for the City Derby on the Rojiblancos pitch, while the Pericos will play at home against Mallorca, on the 9th day of the Spanish championship.
