A pretty enjoyable match despite the result if I am being honest, many many chances were missed by both teams. Real Betis were excellent in the first half starting from stopping attacks to counterattacking but the final touch was horrible especially by Antony and Cucho Hernandez and Fran Garcia that played a very solid game. Second half was completely different, Real Sociedad gained momentum and started playing like how they have to and how people expect Materazzo’s team to play, but their attackers really disappointed especially Oskaarson . The difference is that on the first half Betis were better and almost the only team on the pitch but when it came to the finishing they were horrible and on the second half Betis were more patient and stung in the right moment.

I do wanna have longer reviews for Betis this season, but with Arsenal at the same time now it’s slightly harder lmao. Pretty insane first game of the season though. A rather mediocre first half, no one was really better, though there were some chances here and there. You notice when Isco isnt playing for Betis, because they play much much better with him on the pitch. He just makes everyone better. What a fucking goal though for the 1-0, lovely lofted pass by Cucho and a great volley from Rodrigo Riquelme. Right after that a huge chance for 2-0 after a beautiful play too but good save from the goalie. Betis were much better in the second half, also a really great atmosphere at La Cartuja. Not a very convincing win, but beating La Real first game of the season is good nonetheless. Isco was a joy to watch too when he came on, one of my favorite players honestly. Man of the match either Fornals or Riquelme, but the latter will get it for the lovely goal.

Óskarsson being the best defender for Betis?

Good league debut for Fran Decent performances by many of the Betis players (Antony, Isco, Vallés) Unimpressed by Oskarsson, thought he could have done much better with his opportunities

Colosal Alvaro Valles, sin él el inicio de temporada habría sido muy diferente

Weird one because I can’t place whether I actually enjoyed the game or found it painful to watch. However, the scoreline does not do the second half justice as if not for Óskarsson, I’m quite sure the result would have looked different.
