Claudio Bravo and Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis had begun to get complicated. After two consecutive falls against Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid, the squad led by the “Engineer” fell to the lower-middle part of the table and began to add its first criticisms.

For this reason, the Sevillians had an important test against Elche. And they did not fail, prevailing at home with a comfortable 3 to 1 where they even had the luxury of wasting a penalty.

Bravo played the whole game with the Andalusian team and they barely reached him, being his best save at 85 ‘, a bilge when Nino got into the heart of the area. The Chilean goalkeeper complied in general terms and could not do anything in the only rival goal, a shot by Josan after a great run by Fidel Chaves on the left in the 59th minute.

The foreign discount did not affect a Betis that was already winning by a categorical 3 to 0 at Benito Villamarín. Paraguayan Antonio Sanabria opened the account at 7 ‘and Cristian Tello scored a double at 28’ and 56 ‘, first after a phenomenal assist from Sergio Canales and then after a great personal play.

The team led by Pellegrini was absolute dominator against the Alicante squad. He was even able to go away with a bigger win with a penalty from Nabil Fekir at 44 ‘, but goalkeeper Edgar Badía saved the shot from 12 steps. Fekir himself had the fourth at 49 ‘after a great play by Alex Moreno, but he shot very high.

Important victory for the team of the Chilean DT, who added three again and climbed to seventh place with 12 points. On the following date, the Albiverdes will have a tough challenge against Lionel Messi’s Barcelona, ​​next Saturday at 12:15 pm at the Camp Nou.
