Match Report
Real Betis produced a spirited comeback to claim a 2-3 victory at Girona's Estadi Montilivi on matchday 33, with Rodrigo Riquelme's 80th-minute winner proving the decisive blow in a breathless encounter.
Viktor Tsygankov gave the hosts an early lead in the sixth minute, but Marc Roca leveled with a superb far-post strike (23'). Abde Ezzalzouli put Betis back in front (63') before Azzedine Ounahi converted a penalty to restore parity (67'). Riquelme then arrived late to finish off a move set up by Abde and seal the points. A Vitor Reis goal was subsequently ruled out by VAR for offside, and goalkeeper Álvaro Vallés kept the lead intact with a crucial save deep into stoppage time.
The win ends Betis's seven-match winless run in La Liga and lifts Manuel Pellegrini's side to fifth with 49 points, keeping their Champions League ambitions firmly alive. Girona, stranded in 11th on 38 points, find themselves with little to play for as the season winds down.
