A carom goal resolves a 0-0 match and punishes Mallorca with its sixth consecutive away defeat after a morning without occasions that can only be appreciated if one is an interested party because the level was horrible. Aguirre’s team did not create a single opportunity and neither was he prodigal Pellegrini, who just demanded Rajkovic. Majorca leaves benefited from the rest of the results of the daywaiting for Getafe-Sevilla to play.
The first shock of the afternoon came in the Betis area five minutes after the Verdiblancos players stretched the rope too much in their obsession with leaving the ball played. Rui Silva was about to get into considerable troublebut the play was canceled due to an offside of Muriqito the relief of a stand that was already beginning to notice tachycardia.
Saved responded with an instep shot that went high, exactly like James Costa toHe went through the 15th minute of an extremely balanced match in which Mallorca was achieving its purpose of controlling a Betis without arguments to hurt it. Canales he tried it with a deep pass towards Miranda, but the shot from the side, very forced, did not create the slightest danger.
Without finding the necessary mechanisms to violate the defensive device of AguirreLittle by little, Betis was losing patience while the stadium also demanded solutions. Mallorca took a step back, perhaps forced by the push from their rival, but at least He managed to prevent the Verdiblancos from creating chances ante Rajkovic. In fact, the best argument of his was a distant shot from Ayoze that after stumbling on Nastasic ended up tame in the hands of the Serbian goalkeeper, in addition to a vain attempt to Rodri to take a penalty on a ball that bounced off the hand of Nastasic himself. Pizarro Gomez He did not want to know anything, exactly the same as what he did in a similar play in the Betic area.
With 0-0 and without the slightest hint that a goal could be seen, the second half started without changes, but with an unpleasant surprise for Mallorca because after barely three minutes Sabaly took a ball to start an adventure with an unexpected end because his shot, which was not dangerous, Borja Iglesias deflected it with his toe to send it away from the reach of a surprised Rajkovic. The perfect definition of a carom goal.
The 1-0 ended Mallorca because Betis warned that they were facing a unique opportunity to close the game. There were no more chances despite the fact that Aguirre threw everything he had on the bench, although with some decision somewhat difficult to understand As the relieve de Muriqi, and the morning ended with him reunion of Víctor Ruiz and Galarreta, whoThey coincided in the field for almost a quarter of an hour.
