European character. Betis caused a major upheaval tonight (Monday) when they defeated Alabs 2: 3 in the 26th round of the Spanish league and took an important step in the battle for a place in the Europa League. Pellegrini put Joaquin and Burja Iglesias off the bench at half-time and they came back with three goals in 27 minutes. The Andalusians are in sixth place, three points away from a place in the Europa League. At the same time, Monaco qualified for the quarterfinals of the French Cup thanks to 0: 2 over Nice.
Betis – Alabs 2: 3
Manuel Pellegrini’s Greens-Whites have come to the contest when they want to continue their excellent period from last month. But judging by Betis’ first half, she seemed to be on the verge of an embarrassing loss to the team in the penultimate place in the table. Eliminated and Edgar Mendes put the visitors ahead twice in 24 minutes and embarrassed the Andalusians.
Pellegrini made two changes in the half and brought Joaquin and Iglesias off the bench, and those returned to him and the giant. A goal by Joaquin and a pair of Iglesias, including a wonderful shot in the 88th minute, gave Betis three particularly significant points in the battle for a place in Europe next season. Next week the Greens-Whites will meet Sevilla for the big derby of the Andalusian region.
France: Monaco advanced to the quarterfinals
The last 32 stage of the French Cup came to an end tonight with the Riviera derby. Monaco, which is going through a successful season in the league, managed to qualify for the quarterfinals with an easy 0: 2 thanks to goals from Kevin Walland (29) and Ruben Aguilar (87). In the next round, Nico Kovacs’ team will meet Metz.
In a raffle held at the end of the game, it was determined that PSG will face Lille in the lead. Lyon will play an away game against Red Star from the third division. The games are in front of you
