In an already calmer second half, the youngster took advantage of unai gomez to close the 4-2 final.

Summary of the Athletic – Betis match

He started giving Betis. And up to two times, in minutes 2 and 10. In the first time it was a filtered pass from Marc Roca that made it possible for Ayoze and Ayoze to combine willian jose for for the Brazilian to open the scoring (0-1).

In the second, Aitor Ruibal yielded to isco for the man from Malaga to embed a crossed shot into the squad (0-2).

Athletic was not intimidated, who only three minutes later warned with a header from They lived which crashed into the crossbar.

two shots of Nico and imanol blocked by visiting defenses and a Iñaki’s offside goal delved into the Bilbao threat.

Two entries almost followed led to two penalties by Rui Silva and Guido Rodríguez. Both were transformed by Vesga from eleven meters in the same way, with a natural shot from a left-footed player, to the left of the Portuguese goalkeeper (2-2).

After the madness of the first half, around the locker room things were no longer the same.

A long ball that Isco could not bring down before Simón, a noise in the Betic area and a header from Guruzeta to Williams’ cross was what started the sequel.

After almost all the changes, one of the last to come out, the ‘puppy’ unai gomezscored the fourth local goal by picking up a rejection of a shot attempt by Villalibre (4-2).
