La Real pick up a draw (4-4) against Real Betis in Anoeta. Even that Real didn’t get the victory, it was a crazy football game in which the realistas broke the dynamic of previous games. We all remember games against Real Betis, games riddled with goals and excitement. Today´s match has been no less impressive. The wet grass favored the game and also made it complicated when it didn’t provide the required accuracy. Sanabria scored at the beginning of the match and shortly after Willian José scored with a header. Real began to get on top and Mikel Oyarzabal scored goal. Two minutes later, Feddal scored with a header. It was a crazy match, box to box and full of continuous alternatives.
The second half was charged with energy. Before minute 1, Joaquín scored goal. Real 2-3 Betis. Real´s reply arrived when Xabi Prieto scored. The local team was insistently searching the winning goal. Willian José was close but his shot went wide. The fourth goal was about to arrive. At the end of the match, Sergio León scored the fourth goal for Betis but Diego Llorente scored with a header and tied the game. Now it is time to rest, correct our mistakes, work and turn up again forcefully after la Liga break.
