Last year, the icon of the modern football world, the Brazilian striker Antony, almost won the main trophy of the UEFA conferences League in Seville Betis on the lease of English Manchester United. But he gave way to the Final of the Chelsea London. However, it is not a problem-“Green and White” then raised the rates at the expense of the Championship to the Europa League, and still managed to bow “red devils to the sale of a football player, he got the opportunity to compensate for his absence in the finale of this competition as part of the English team.

But to talk about such high rounds very early-we just started a conversation about the new major round of the Europa League, which, like the Champions League, was allocated a whole week for the first round matches. The status is felt. And the Manuel Pellegrini team began this path with a home game against another Premier League representative-Nottingham Forest.

For “Foresters” it was also a very special moment. Because imagine that it has already grown, matured and even continued your own kind in some cases a whole generation of fans of this club, who in their lives did not see the two -time winner of the European Champions Cup play in the international arena. 30 years of waiting. It is almost like our team at the World Championships. Unfortunately.

And in this game at Estadio de-la-cartoon in Seville, there was also our trace, because in Nottings Forest, therefore, Antony had none on the left flank of defense, no one more than Alexander Zinchenko. And this duel began almost from the first minutes, and quite quickly the Ukrainian started real problems. Because in the 15th minute, Anthony was exacerbated by his flank transfer to a penalty to a tank during a counterattack, and the forward struck powerfully in the near corner.

However, the team of Anzhi Protsecogl, by the way, the current owner of the Trofetus of the Europa League headed by London Tottenham, she was able to not just play, but also went forward. It happened just five minutes and eight minutes from Betis’s first goal in this game. Simple flanking attacks ended on both sides of the Gibbs-Vayta and Douglas Louis Fields on both sides, and he confidently played a goalkeeper.

And in fact, the “green and white” this first half was completed so uncertain that the additional heads could be caught that there would be no questions in this match. Zinchenko could also put it in if he was serving a corner from the right flank 33 minutes in the long distance in the distance in the stable of Hadson-Union.

In general, the dynamics for the “foresters” was not bad, but only before the break. Because the rivals made a triple replacement immediately and at least reduced the impact of guests’ attacks on the game. Or, the guests themselves reduced their intensity in front that Betis was not difficult to reflect their offenses, so the strength remained for the final jerk.

And here Zinchenko already went to one of the front plans, because it was in the area that he ended his back from the left flank for 85 minutes the same Anthony, which formed the final score in this game. No contrasts with the individual matches of Tottenhama’s post -coogla last season is not visible.

In the next round, Seville Betis will visit the Bulgarian Ludogorets, and Nottingham Forest will be hosted by Danish Magyullann.
