The game
Betis started the game with everything and endangered goalkeeper De Gea. The Spanish team’s best opportunity in the first half was a ball on the crossbar after a shot from outside the area by Joaquín, in the tenth minute. Manchester United, however, did not go off the grid and also managed to create dangerous chances, even stamping the opposing goalpost as well, with Pellistri, already in the final stretch of the first stage.
The second half started with the score still at zero and with more real chances created by both sides. However, who opened the scoring was Manchester United, in the tenth minute, with Marcus Rashford outside the area. After that, Betis’ pace dropped drastically and the English controlled the duel until the end, without getting scared.
