The Engineer team, which started with the Chilean goalkeeper, beat the Pamplona team 4-1 and are still fighting to qualify for the European Cups. Moreover, the national coach managed 400 matches in the Spanish First Division.
A brilliant performance signed by Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis. The Sevilla team, which started with the goalkeeper Claudio Bravo outmoded 4-1 against Osasuna, at the Benito Villamarín stadium . With the victory, Ingeniero’s team remain in fifth place in the Spanish league, with 53 points, a position that secures them a place in the Europa League.
The match started very well for the Verdiblancos. Juanmi, the star of the match, scored twice (34′ and 45’+1′). The locals had been largely dominant and deserved the advantage. They entered the break with a reassuring lead.
However, Betis fell in the second half, while the visit improved with the changes. The Croatian Ante Budimir discounted at 65′ and put uncertainty in Seville. Of the Manuel Pellegrini they felt the blow and lost control of the game. These were moments of horror for the owner of the house.
The big scare came at 70′, when Budimir himself scored the draw. However, fortunately for Claudio Bravo, captain of the Chilean team, the striker was in a forward position and with the help of VAR the conquest was called off.
It was like a second life for the owner, who woke up from his lethargy, pulled himself together and doomed the game with two great goals. It was first William Carvalho who masterfully escaped goalkeeper Sergio Herrera and brought the score to 3-1 (82nd). Then it was the turn of the good winger Álex Moreno, who defined with great skill to seal the victory, at 88′.
An important victory for the team of Pellegrini and Bravo, who returned to victory after their elimination from the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt, and their last draw against Celta de Vigo de Matías Dituro, by LaLiga. In this way, Betis continues to fight for a place in the next Champions League. He is one point behind Xavi’s Barcelona, who are fourth, despite the Catalans having two games less.
The Engineer also directed his 400th match in Spain, making him one of the foreign coaches with the most LaLiga duels. “Being able to become the foreign coach who has led the most games in Spain would be a source of pride. And even more if you enter @RealBetis ”, maintained the Chilean DT.
