Very important win at the Benito Villamarín
João Félix's brace and Lemar's goal gave our team the three points in a vibrant duel at the Benito Villamarín.
The game started in an excellent way for our team as, in the second minute of play, João Félix finished off an assist from underneath Correa. The Portuguese player opened the scoring again, as he did in El Sadar and against Manchester United at the Wanda Metropolitano.
After 20 minutes of the match, Diego Pablo Simeone had to make a forced substitution. Vrsaljko was substituted due to a blow after falling after a jump and Carrasco came on in his place. Just six minutes later, Correa suffered a trauma in the dispute of a divided ball and had to be replaced by Griezmann.
When the first half was about to end, Betis recovered a ball on the edge of the area and Tello shot with his left foot to beat Oblak in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
At the start of the second act, our team warned first with a double header from Felipe and Giménez. The Brazilian's header hit the post and the Uruguayan's subsequent shot was caught by the goalkeeper.
With half an hour left on the clock, De Paul found Marcos Llorente on the run and he ran into the box to set up João Félix, who finished for the home side to give them the lead once again.
Our team could have extended the lead with chances from João Félix and Griezmann, but it was Thomas Lemar who sealed the victory with a goal in the 80' after finishing off Griezmann's personal play that reached the end line and set up the goal for his compatriot.
With this win, our team overtakes Betis in the standings to move into the Champions League places.
