Betis has spent almost twenty years without winning in San Sebastián

The Real Betis, which on Thursday disputes its eighth final of the Cup in a single match in Donostia-San Sebastián, has spent almost two decades, since 2003, without winning in the field of the Real society, where he has played 56 official matches with a balance of 34 losses (60%), 15 draws (27%) and only 7 wins (13%).

The last Betis victory at Anoeta was a resounding 0-4 sealed with a brace from Joaquín and two goals from Capi and Juanito in the League 2003/04 and the Betis, since then, have visited the Donostiarras fourteen times, who have won seven of these matches and tied another seven.

Almost half of Betis’s triumphs on realistic terrain occurred in the nineties: 0-1 (goal by Ureña) in a Cup match of the 94/95 campaign; another narrow victory (Josete scored) in the 96/97 League; and a 0-2 win in the round of 16 of the 97/98 Cup, with goals from Finidi and Iván Pérez.

Between 1930 and the end of the last century, Betis only won three of their thirty-one visits against Real Sociedad: 0-1 (goal by Nene Suárez) in the 84/85 League; also by the minimum (both from Bosch) in the 60/61 campaign and 2-4 in the 34/35 season, when Cholín and Insausti scored for the San Sebastian team and Timimi -2-, Unamuno and Lecue scored the Green and White goals.
