Pellegrini’s men lose to Rangers and are third in their group to fall to the Conference League
MADRID, 14 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Betis was eliminated from the Europa League this Thursday after falling (2-3) against Rangers at the Benito Villamarín on the last day of Group C, which the Spanish team started first and finished third to be relegated to the Conference League .
Manuel Pellegrini’s team got complicated two weeks ago, losing to Sparta Prague in a bad game and culminated their farewell in another much more painful defeat at home. Without doing anything out of this world, Rangers defeated Betis by scoring three goals at the Villamarín against a rival with no fuel or reaction.
The wear and tear that the green and white team noticed was that of Isco, brain, engine and man for everything in a Betis without the injured Guido and Fekir. Pellegrini’s men failed to concentrate on defense and conceded twice in the first 20 minutes. Juan Miranda made it 1-1 almost immediately, but the game continued to go uphill for the locals.
The 1-2 already weighed a lot more but, before the break, with assistance from Isco, Ayoze Pérez made it 2-2. The second half was much flatter for the Scots, but the Spanish team did not find a goal. Marc Roca missed a good one and Diao crashed into the wood. Meanwhile, the VAR annulled Ayoze’s goal for handball.
Without suffering, Betis was condemned in another bad defensive action, in Roofe’s 2-3 after a corner kick 10 minutes from time. The goal was difficult to manage and although Pellegrini’s team tried desperately, with the best option being an almost unintentional shot by Pezzella acting as ‘9’ in stoppage time, Betis, eliminated as third, was left one goal away. to be first and go direct.
