Cádiz added three very important points in their fight for permanence, by beating Betis 0-2 in Seville, a team that has not had anything come of it since Sergio Canales was sent off in the final stretch of the first part and that in the second he became unhinged while the visiting goals arrived, to the point that he finished with nine per the expulsion also of Aitor Ruibal.
The béticos, who also they lost Argentine central defender Germán Pezzella injured in the first halfthey found an opponent who, regardless of those opponent’s adversities, was very well placed on the field, strong in defense and very active in attack, with which Rubén Alcaraz scored goals, from a penalty in the 53rd minute , and Chris Ramos in 58.
With a lot at stake, this Andalusian duel was presented when entering the final stretch of the tournament, with the people of Cádiz in a fierce fight not to get into the relegation places and the Sevillians with the illusion of consolidating the European positions and even assaulting those of the Champions League.
In the case of the Verdiblanco team, the victories on Saturday of direct rivals such as Real Sociedad and Villarreal, made it even more necessary not to fail, while the yellows, depending on the day, could fall back down again, although the face in this pulse fell from the cadista lake.
Adapt to that pressure due to the need for the points and also to the strong heat, with a temperature that exceeded 30 degreeswas the mission of two teams that arranged on the pitch two players who this week the ordinary courts granted the precautionary suspension of the sanctions that weigh on them, cases of the Betis midfielder Sergio Canales and the right back of Cádiz Iza Jail.
Cádiz looked for the third consecutive scoring start in Seville, after drawing against Real Sociedad (0-0) and Almería (1-1), and found it with a victory, the first in its history in LaLiga in the field of Betis, and for this what he did was keep his defense protected but with advanced pressure to recover the ball and surprise.
That idea came close to bearing fruit soon, after three minutes, when the Congoleseo Théo Bongonda did not know how to place the ball correctly and the Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Silva responded to itbut this was a presentation of the intentions of the visitors.
Given this, it was difficult for the locals to have continuity in their game and, in addition, they saw after twenty-two minutes The Argentine international center back Germán Pezzella had to retire due to a physical impairmentwho had to leave the site to Édgar González.
After half an hour, a break for hydration arrived that could have come in handy for the Betic coach, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, to improve his team, but shortly after, in the 38th minute, he saw how they were sent off with Direct red to Canales for cutting off Rubén Sobrino’s advance when it faced the local area.
From there until the break came another good chance to score for Cádiz, but Chris Ramos’s header went wide against a post, so the second half began with the uncertainty of seeing how both managed this period with the conditions seen in the first.
Pellegrini resigned from his center forward, Borja Iglesiasand enhanced the game on the wings with the presence of the Brazilian Luiz Henrique, but everything was disrupted when a hand of Juan Miranda inside the area was awarded a penalty, which transformed eight minutes after the restart Rubén Alcaraz.
