Outstanding performance
Real Betis•AttackerReal Betis were in control from the first whistle at the Benito Villamarín, taking the lead through Cucho Hernández on 22 minutes and never looking back. Abde Ezzalzouli doubled the advantage just before the break, a hammer blow that effectively ended Oviedo as a competitive force. Hernández added a third shortly after the hour mark to wrap up a clean-sheet victory that flattered neither side with its scoreline — it was exactly as comfortable as it looks. The statistics tell an interesting story: Oviedo actually generated more shots (17 to 10) and posted a superior pass accuracy (90% to 84%), yet Betis created three big chances to their opponents' one and missed none of them, underlining the clinical efficiency that separated these two sides. For Betis, the win consolidates their mid-table La Liga standing and maintains a healthy run of form, while Oviedo — already deep in a relegation battle — saw their afternoon unravel with alarming speed once the first goal went in.
