Opening goal changed the course of the game
Trending
Before conceding, Real Betis looked to put up a tough fight. The Seville side had a few chances of their own in the first half with Ruben Castro’s shot cleared out for a corner and Bruno Gonzalez’s header tipped over the bar.
Even after going a man down, Los Verdiblancos stayed solid in defence and looked to build from the back. But as soon as they conceded the first goal, the course of the game completely changed. Barcelona kept asking questions, knocking the ball around the Betis penalty area, with Merino’s men scrambling for possession.
Barcelona’s striker Luis Suarez wasn’t the same in front of goal as he was in the last two games. The Uruguayan’s finishing wasn’t up to the mark as he scuffed clear-cut chances in a tight game.
