Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Real Betis 1-1 Girona in the La Liga on Sunday, 23 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Girona started the match on the front foot, taking the lead in the 20' when Vladyslav Vanat scored, assisted by Bryan Gil, capitalising on their early pressure despite Real Betis holding a slight possession edge. Real Betis made a triple substitution at half-time, with Aitor Ruibal replacing Hector Bellerin, Sofyan Amrabat replacing Giovani Lo Celso, and Abde Ezzalzouli replacing Rodrigo Riquelme, aiming to inject fresh energy into their attack. The game remained tense with several yellow cards issued, including to Marc Bartra for Betis in the 33' and Vitor Reis for Girona in the 12'.
Real Betis pushed for an equaliser in the second half, introducing Pablo Fornals in place of Isco at 60', and their efforts paid off in the 75' when Victor Gomez found the net, assisted by Isco, levelling the scoreline. Marc Roca was then replaced by Nelson Deossa for Betis in the 76', while Girona made changes including Viktor Tsygankov for Jhon Solis at 66' and Bryan Gil for Yaser Asprilla at 66', followed by later swaps. The match took a dramatic turn late on when Betis' Antony received a red card in the 90+1' following a card upgrade in the 90', leaving them a man down, but they held on for a 1-1 draw amid further yellow cards, including to Paulo Gazzaniga for Girona in the 88'.
Real Betis dominated possession with 54% compared to Girona's 46%, which allowed them to create more opportunities, evidenced by their 8 corners to Girona's none, potentially appealing to bettors eyeing set-piece markets in future games. Their 67 successful dribbles far outpaced Girona's 44, indicating superior individual skill in breaking lines, though this didn't translate to a win partly due to disciplinary issues, with Betis receiving 3 yellow cards and 1 red card against Girona's 4 yellows, disrupting their rhythm especially after Antony's late dismissal. Both sides recorded 1 assist each, reflecting the single goals scored, while Betis used all 5 substitutions— including a triple change at 46' where Aitor Ruibal replaced Hector Bellerin, Sofyan Amrabat replaced Giovani Lo Celso, and Abde Ezzalzouli replaced Rodrigo Riquelme, followed by Pablo Fornals replacing Isco at 60' and Marc Roca making way for Nelson Deossa at 76'—compared to Girona's 4, which helped Betis maintain momentum but couldn't overcome the numerical disadvantage.
These stats highlight Betis' territorial control but underline Girona's efficiency in converting chances, with no penalties or injury-time goals noted, suggesting a match where discipline and substitution timing were key factors for punters analysing team resilience and in-play betting odds.
The game's early turning point came in the 20' when Girona's Vladyslav Vanat scored with an assist from Bryan Gil, giving the visitors a lead that shaped a defensive approach for much of the first half. Real Betis responded with a crucial equaliser in the 75' from Victor Gomez, assisted by Isco, which shifted momentum and highlighted the impact of their half-time triple substitution that brought fresh legs into the midfield and attack. Discipline proved decisive late on, with Betis' Antony seeing his yellow upgraded to a red card in the 90+1', forcing them to defend with ten men in the dying minutes and preventing a potential late winner.
Girona's substitutions, such as Viktor Tsygankov replacing Jhon Solis and Yaser Asprilla coming on for Bryan Gil at 66', aimed to maintain their advantage, but the match ended level amid a flurry of yellow cards that underscored the intense, physical nature of the contest.
Real Betis lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a solid defensive base allowing their attacking midfielders like Isco to orchestrate plays, forming a key partnership with forwards who exploited spaces on the counter. Standout roles included the full-backs pushing forward, as seen with Hector Bellerin starting before being replaced at half-time, while the central midfield duo provided balance to support creative outlets.
Girona deployed a 4-1-4-1 setup, emphasising a deep-lying playmaker to shield the defence while allowing wide midfielders like Bryan Gil to deliver assists, as evidenced by his contribution early on before his substitution at 66'. Key partnerships shone in the attacking third, with forwards like Vladyslav Vanat linking effectively with the midfield, supported by timely changes that maintained their structure.
The Man of the Match was Isco of Real Betis, whose creative vision and precise assist for Victor Gomez's 75' equaliser proved pivotal in securing a point, demonstrating his influence even after being substituted at 60' for Pablo Fornals. His ability to unlock defences with incisive passes resonated throughout, making him a standout for bettors tracking player performance metrics in La Liga.
