Atletico Madrid’s Dramatic Victory Over Real Betis Shakes Up LaLiga Title Race—What This Means for the Top Four Battle
Giuliano Simeone, the coach’s son, opened the scoring early on with a crisp volley from the edge of the box – his first goal of the campaign.
Summer signing Alex Baena doubled the lead before half-time, bending in a fine effort to register his first for the club and cap a dominant first-half display.
Goalkeeper Jan Oblak praised his teammates’ resilience afterwards. “It was an important win, hard-fought,” he told Movistar. “We’ve struggled away from home, so I hope this is a turning point.”
Betis improved after the break and came closest when Abde Ezzalzouli struck the crossbar from a free-kick, but Atletico’s back line, marshalled by José María Giménez and Danilo, held firm.
