Real Betis won a narrow victory over the Babazorros squad, Lo Celso became a hero

Gilabola.com -Real Betis successfully won an important victory at the beginning of the second week of La Liga after overthrowing Deportivo Alaves with a thin score of 1-0.

The single winning goal was scored by Giovani Lo Celso in the 16th minute, which ensured “Los Verdiblancos” rose to the top of the standings.

Lo Celso became a calf hero in the middle of the absence of Isco

Betis currently cannot rely on Isco which has to pull over for a long time due to a broken leg injury. However, the role was well filled by Giovani Lo Celso who immediately had a big impact.

Playing in his second season with Betis, the Argentine midfielder scored his team’s winning goal.

Interestingly, this match was not played at the original calf, Benito Villalamarín Stadium, because it was being renovated. Instead, Betis was temporarily based at the La Cartuja Stadium, who witnessed Lo Celso’s sole goal.

The goal was born from a chaotic situation in the Alaves penalty box. After the ball bounced between several players, Lo Celso actually was in a free position without escort only three meters from goal. Without difficulty, he conquered the opposing goalkeeper and brought his team a 1-0 ahead.

Alaves failed to take advantage of opportunities

Although lagging behind earlier, Alaves tried to get up and press the host. They recorded five golden opportunities, but all were successfully countered by the brilliant performance of goalkeeper Pau Lopez who performed full of concentration throughout the game.

With this result, Betis temporarily topped the La Liga standings with four points. However, this position will most likely change when Barcelona play the match the next day. Meanwhile, Alaves had to be satisfied with three points from two matches, having previously won in the inaugural week.
