Real return to winning ways. After two defeats, today’s match was of great importance. The txuri urdin beat Betis 3-1 at the Reale Arena. The vibes in the camp are really good and the squad stir excitement.
Play started in heavy rain and the game was very fast. There was a high risk of getting hit or injured. Losing the ball was easy. Time for lunch and cold temperatures. Like in the good old days. Betis took the lead in the 12th minute. VAR awarded the goal but Real reacted well and equalized after an own goal by Javi García. In the 36th minute, Willian José added a second after an assist from Zaldua. The Brazilian shot with his right foot and beat Joel. It was a great first half for the realistas.
Imanol’s team came out strong after the break. Real were taking the lead in the first minutes of the second half and added a third through Portu. The player from Murcia shot from inside the box and found the back of the net to put the match back on track. Rubi’s team had a few changes but there was nothing they could do.
This win makes it possible to continue at the top of the table. Good vibes and excitement. This is the Real we love, the one that we like the most. Aúpa Real!
