Stay Updated with meus.resultados. Bartra opens the scoring for Betis, but young Misehouy secures the equalizer for Girona in Seville.
The start of the 2024/25 La Liga season brought an intense clash between Betis and Girona, ending in a 1-1 draw on Thursday night (15th) in Seville. Betis took the lead early, just six minutes in, when Marc Bartra capitalized on a well-delivered corner by Nabil Fekir and headed the ball into the net, leaving goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga with no chance. The home team dominated for much of the match, creating several opportunities to extend their lead, but were thwarted by Gazzaniga’s solid goalkeeping, which kept Girona in the game.
Despite Betis’s early dominance, Girona grew into the game over the last 30 minutes. The Catalan side nearly equalized in the 62nd minute when Abel Ruiz hit the post during a quick counter-attack. The equalizer came in the 72nd minute from a play involving two of Girona’s young talents. Iker Almena, just 20 years old, made a brilliant run down the right, dribbling past two defenders before delivering a low cross to Gabriel Misehouy, 19, who finished with a first-time shot that beat goalkeeper Rui Silva.
After the equalizer, Betis tried to regain their advantage and almost succeeded with Chimy Ávila, who struck the post with an acrobatic volley just a minute later. In the closing moments, both teams had chances to secure a win but failed to capitalize, resulting in a draw.
The tie demonstrated the strength of both teams, who are expected to have strong campaigns in La Liga and European competitions. Betis will now prepare for their next challenge, while Girona heads home with a valuable point earned on the road. The season is just beginning, and both clubs have much to prove in their upcoming matches. BB score, you live score hub.
