On Sunday, in the Spanish "La Liga" championship, four more matches of the 8th round took place. The real gem of the round was the match in Seville, where the local team "Real Betis" met "Valencia". Here, spectators witnessed an incredible game - the "bats" had a four-goal advantage, but the home team scored three goals in five minutes and returned the intrigue, but "Valencia" responded with two more precise strikes and celebrated victory with a score of 6-3. Two goals were scored in the first half - in the 35th minute, Geoffrey Kondogbia put Valencia ahead, and towards the end of the first half, Goncalo Guedes increased the advantage with an impressive strike. In the 55th minute, "Real Betis" could have narrowed the gap, but missed a penalty shot. For that, the hosts were later heavily punished - in the 64th minute, Rodrigo scored the third goal, and Santi Mina started the opponent's collapse in the 74th minute. After this goal, the winner of the match became clear to everyone, but "Real Betis" was close to a miraculous comeback - in five minutes, the hosts managed to reduce the gap from 0-4 to 3-4. In the 79th minute, Joel Campbell scored the first goal, just a minute later, Antonio Sanabria found the net, and in the 84th minute, Christian Tello restored the unexpected intrigue in this match. "Real Betis" had all the chances to fight for a tie, but at the end of the game, they burned out when trying to press the opponents - in the 88th minute, Simone Zaza sealed the opponent's hopes, and in stoppage time, Andrea Pereira struck the seventh nail in the "Real Betis" coffin. "Valencia" continues to demonstrate impressive form this season - this was their fifth victory and 18th point, which lifted the "bats" to second place, reducing the gap from "Barca" to four points.
