Betis pulled off a nice move this Monday evening on the Villarreal pitch, winning (1-2) at the end of a particularly lively first period. Gerard Moreno had however put the locals on the right track in the 29th minute, perfectly served by Renato Veiga. But Betis was quick to react as Cucho Hernández tied the two teams ten minutes later, before Natan gave the visitors the advantage just before the break (43rd).

Villarreal then pushed to come back to the score, notably with a clear domination in possession of the ball and 14 shots attempted. Despite their 62% possession, Iñigo Pérez’s men never managed to break the Andalusian barrier. Betis therefore leaves the Estadio de la Cerámica with three points thanks to this success and confirms its good start to the La Liga season.
