In the 28th round of La Liga, Real Betis staged a thrilling “let two chase three” reversal in the away game, and finally defeated Leganes 3-2. In this game, Anthony showed his excellent performance again, he passed the car on the wing after sending a cross, directly creating Betis’s winner.
At the beginning of the game, Betis suffered a very unfavourable start on the road. Leganes’ Danny Rabba scored twice in the 29th and 44th minutes to take a quick 2-0 lead. However, Betis did not give up because of this, they launched a Jedi counterattack after the easy side rematch.
In the 62nd minute, Isco scored from the penalty spot for Betis to pull one back. Then, in the 78th minute, Barcambu made it 2-2 when Bartra’s lift shot caused the goalkeeper to release his hand.
However, the climax of the game was yet to come. In the 82nd minute, the most combustive scene of the game came. Betis hit back and Anthony, showing great confidence on the wing, used his speed to overtake and deliver a precise cross, which was missed by Isco before Cucho volleyed home to complete the 3-2 comeback and the winner.
Although the goal was ultimately credited as an assist by Isco, there is no doubt that Anthony, who orchestrated the kill, was much more responsible. Since joining Betis on loan from Manchester United in the winter, the 25-year-old has scored four goals and four assists in 10 games and has become the club’s “thigh”.
After the victory, Real Betis won 5 consecutive games in La Liga, 5 wins in 6 games and 1 draw, ranking 6th in La Liga, firmly located in the UEFA qualification area. I believe that in the future, Betis and Anthony will continue to bring more wonderful games and surprises for the fans.
