CÁDIZ CF 0 - 2 REAL BETIS | RESUMEN LALIGA EA SPORTS | J24 |2023-2024

But their new manager, Mauricio Pellegrino, has come in to steady the ship. This being now his third game in charge since taking over from Sergio González. So far, two games, two draws, but two goalless draws. Therefore, they have kept two clean sheets, both of them. But tonight, with Isco's absence, and he will be for the next quite few games, Vecchia is now in his favourite position, but it's Willian Jose with the strike! Five minutes in, early lead for Real Betis. Willian Jose, back in the starting eleven. He's not happy, the home fans, that he was on the ground. Miranda, back in the penalty area now, lobs it to the back post. And eventually is cleared by Pires. Betis on the front foot here. Three players surrounding him there, but Abde gets round. Itza Karthelin plays it across. Had to be parried away by Ledesma, it's Nabil Vecchia. Still Vecchia! And a brilliant save from Jeremias. Zalejo plays the cross in looking for Ramos. It's brought down here and laid off to the edge of the box. The shot on target! And again! Another block. Rui Silva called into real action. Kicking from right to left on your screens. Betis in their away strip, all in green. Kicking from left to right and they're looking here to try and double their lead. Early doors into the second half. It's Fornals who cuts onto his left! And it's a wonderful goal! Magnificent goal, Fornals! His first start for Real Betis. And his first La Liga goal since 2019. Karthelin. Juanmi in the wall. It's played to Vecchia. Indeed, it is whipped in. The header from Pezzella! And that should have been three. That should have been three and game over. Pires with a brilliant through ball there. The chance for Juanmi on target! And that's the closest Cadiz have come in this second half to pulling a goal back and it comes. Sets up his players in the box. It's cleared away. It's Robert Navarro! What an effort on target! But equally, the double change made. Vecchia will have to wait another game for his first goal since returning. Goal and an assist tonight for Willian Josep. That's Falle's header. It's on target. Final whistle. Four minutes of stoppage time were added on at 93 and a half. The referee says enough is enough. Real Betis come out on top.
