Atlético Madrid defeats Betis with a double from Antoine Griezmann

Real_Betis – Atletico Madrid – Played on 10/23/ 2022

On Sunday on the 11th day of La Liga, Antoine Griezmann scored twice to give Atlético

Madrid a victory over Betis Sevilla (1-2), even though Nabil Fékir cut the score in half at

the end of the game. With this latest victory, their fourth in the previous five league

contests, the Colchoneros reclaim third position and extend their lead over Bétis to three

points (5th).

Griezmann has undoubtedly been freed, and Atlético makes the most of it. The French led

the Colchoneros to win on the Betis Seville field on Sunday during the 11th day of La Liga,

shocking the top of the table, which had previously been closed (1-2). He successfully

started the scoring in the 54th minute with a direct corner, then he doubled it with a quick

right-side shot (70th). If the Beticos responded as a result of Nabil Fekir’s biting entry,

which lowered the score from a free kick (84th), it was the residents of Madrid who signed

a significant victory over a direct rival. On the La Liga podium, they are right here.

The Beticos originally took the game by themselves in the bright atmosphere of

the Benito-Villamarin stadium by displaying an intriguing ball circulation,

especially with the help of the

significant William Carvalho. Despite having forced the visitors back in the opening 15

minutes, they suffered a setback when their center back Luiz Felipe struck in the right

thigh (20th). The discomfort of a spectator in the audience also caused a brief pause in

the meeting (25th).

The discussions rapidly picked up again, but Betis lost the plot and exposed themselves to Colchoneros’s combative and well-positioned percussion team, led by Geoffrey Kondogbia, who was a rock in the middle of the field. Griezmann had been passive for a while before this unsuccessful lob attempt following a risky escape from the opposing goalkeeper Rui Silva (45th + 4). Atlético made three pitiful tries, but failed to get off even the tiniest shot during the first closed period.

More willingly, Betis believed they had taken the lead immediately after the restart on an excellent counter led by their center forward Borja Iglesias and finished by Luiz Henrique, but the goal ultimately overturned for an initial offside (48th). The citizens of Madrid responded well to this warning and eventually got over it. They received a corner, Griezmann responded, and the ball badly deflected off of his line by a German player, Pezzella, and ended up in the French team’s goal (0-1, 55th).

Atlético Madrid defeats Betis: FEKIR enters and scores, frustrating Moreno with the result

The Betis players unmistakably took the blow, and Griezmann, who had been set up by Matheus Cunha on the right side of the opposition’s area, was able to complete a hat trick with the aid of Rui Silva this time, who allowed the ball to slip between his legs (0-2, 71st). Since Atlético formally acquired him, the former Barcelona player has recovered all of his abilities and his motivation. He is still decisive. His season total for La Liga goals is presently 5. But the fight for the top spot wasn’t over yet, as Manuel Pellegrini continued to push Fekir for the final 30 minutes.

The injured former Lyonnais who was making his comeback instantly displayed his involvement and biting. Above all, he brought the score down with an axial free kick from 20 meters, which startled Jan Oblak and allowed him to open up his counter and fully restore the suspense (1-2, 84th). In a breathless finish to the game, Atlético reacted through the arriving Joo Félix, who tripped over Rui Silva (90th + 2). His colleague Alex Moreno also found the crossbar of the Madrid goalkeeper (90th + 1). After five wins, Betis suffered their first home defeat as Atlético continued their winning ways on the road with their fifth victory in six outings.
