In the early hours of 17 December, the second round of the 21/22 Copa del Rey continued, with one of the matches played between Real Betis and Talavera. The match was full of ups and downs, with a 2-1 lead in which Real Betis suffered a draw and was dragged into extra time by his opponents. Canales and Lanez then scored two goals in a row before winning 4-2 to advance to the next round.
Real Betis has a great record this season, scoring 33 points in 17 rounds of La Liga to finish third in the table. Previously, they beat Barca 1-0 away from home to give Xavi their first defeat in office. Facing the 4th level Talavera, Real Betis was lightly opposed and almost overturned.
Just 7 minutes into the opening, Talavera took the lead and the score became 1-0! Iglesias quickly equalised and the two sides quickly returned to the same running line. In the first half, the two sides played 1-1!
In the 61st minute, Real Betis won a penalty and Joaquin went down to the next city, 2-1. This season, the 40-year-old Joaquin continued to play, making 16 appearances in all competitions, still contributing 2 goals and 3 assists.
Seeing that they were about to win, The Royal Betis was in a situation again. In the 89th minute, Talavera actually completed a perfect draw, and the game had to go into extra time.
This time, Real Betis did not dare to despise his opponents, and Moreno, Willem José and Victor Ruiz appeared together. In the 116th minute, Canales assisted with a goal from Lanes to give Real Betis a 3-2 lead.
In the 119th minute, Canales personally performed, and in just 3 minutes, he staged a good pass to help Real Betis kill the game 4-2. As the saying goes, Talavera is clearly powerless to perform a miracle again, and Real Betis makes a thrilling advance to the next round.
I have to say that the Copa del Rey has always been a hotbed of cold, in the past, Real Madrid has repeatedly upset out of the low-level teams, and Real Betis almost overturned the ship tonight, and finally there is no danger to advance, not to get out early.
It is worth mentioning that Valencia also suffered a similar plot, and it was also delayed until extra time to kill the promotion suspense, defeating Alan Tairo 3-1 and advancing to the next round as desired.
