Real Betis beat Osasuna with a resounding 5‑2 at La Cartuja, maintaining their position on the podium of the LaLiga table before hosting Barcelona. The victory, celebrated on the eighth day of the season, marked the team's fifth consecutive victory and the best unbeaten streak in the club's history, with fifteen games without defeat.
From the first minute, Betis imposed high pressure that made it difficult for the Osaurinos to get the ball out, who were forced to play in their own field and without being able to advance coherently. The opportunity presented itself after ten minutes when Riquelme caused a penalty after a header from Santos; Isco converted the shot, opening the scoring and consolidating local dominance. Just half an hour later, Ez Abde's goal, after a recovery in the rival area, gave Betis a 2‑0 lead.
The second half opened with a goal from Llorente in the 48th minute, after a disorganized play in the Osasuna area. The score remained 3‑0 until Budimir and former Bético player Raúl García scored in quick succession, reducing the difference to 3‑2. Isco took advantage of the opportunity to extend the lead with a goal in the 56th minute, and then, in the 67th minute, added another, leaving Osasuna with no options. The last goal came in the 96th minute, when debutant J.Morante scored from outside the area after a shot that deflected off the Osaurine goal.
The match featured several yellow cards, including Moncayola, Santos, Cucho, Torró, Roca, Rosier and Catena, and was refereed by Carlos Muñiz Muñoz. The La Cartuja Stadium received 65,484 spectators, who attended a day marked by the forcefulness of Betis.
With this victory, Real Betis remains in third position in the table, consolidating its position on the podium and maintaining its unbeaten streak. The next match will be against Barcelona, where the team will have to maintain its performance to continue competing for Champions League positions.
