“Betis went from less to more in the first half against Athletic Club. It was the Basque team that had to modify their usual scheme to protect themselves in the middle and at the beginning it went well. Pellegrini’s team had a hard time connecting at the beginning, attacking plays. Luiz Felipe was a true fence in the defense axis and Luiz Henrique started taking center stage, being a difficult day for him. Canales was especially uncomfortable and took a long time to come into play and Borja Iglesias, well marked by the visiting centre-backs, had very little contact with the ball. General equality, although Athletic finished better before the break”.
Rest in Heliopolis. Players to changing rooms. The initial marker (0-0) does not move. It was difficult for Betis to translate their dominance at times and Athletic Club finished the first half better, forcing several corner kicks.
min 39 (0-0): Ouch! Luiz Felipe, providential to the cut to abort in the small area a clear opportunity for Athletic Club after hospitalization and death pass to Guruzeta from Iñaki Williams #Betis
min 36 (0-0): Whoops!!! Unai Simón blocked a dry shot from Fekir from the edge of the area after a well-armed counterattack by Betis
min 30 (0-0): The game has been played in the Athletic Club field for a while. Betis looks for a way to open the Biscayan bolt through possession, although the rojiblancos do not give up the attack.
min 22 (0-0): Whoops!!! About to reach the far post Álex Moreno to a twisted pass from Luiz Henrique, who is showing himself to be very active and sharp on the offensive front of the Verdiblanco team.
min 20 (0-0): Betis carry the weight of the game and have the ball while Athletic try to take advantage of the speed of their midfielders to exploit the transitions as a way towards the Betic goal. There are few occasions but a lot of rhythm
min 10 (0-0): Whoops!!! Luiz Henrique had the first opportunity for the Verdiblanco team after a steal from the Brazilian that ended with a shot from the front saved by Unai Simón #Betis

Fifteen minutes until the start of the match at the Benito Villamarín!!!!! The warm-up of the Real Betis and Athletic Club players is about to end on the pitch of the Heliopolitan Coliseum.
“We already told you during the week that the tests led to the fact that Félix, if Víctor Ruiz did not recover, was going to be the couple in the center of defense along with Luiz Felipe. Pellegrini confirmed this with his official eleven. The rest of the team team, as expected with Canales and without Juanmi. Special mention, in my opinion, for Luiz Henrique. He has not been able to travel to Brazil to bid farewell to his recently deceased father and has the possibility, starting as a starter, to give him a good individual match and celebrate a world triumph of Betis”.
