An unbelievable game with six goals in the first 26 minutes! Betis ended the game with 22 shots and 6 on target, while we had 11 shots and 7 on target. They controlled most of the match but were never able to stop the deep goal kick and Guayre gets 4 somewhat simple goals. While Guayre received the Man of the Match, Marquez was mostly responsible with 4 assists and a goal of his own.
