Entering the second half, the match continued at a high pace. However, MU failed to take advantage of their opportunities.
In contrast, Real Betis reduced the score to 2-3 in the 61st minute. From a cross from the right wing, Diego Llorente jumped high to head the ball into the MU net.

In MU’s most recent confrontation, the 1-2 defeat to Arsenal was particularly disappointing when both Rasmus Hojlund and summer signing Leny Yoro withdrew due to injury. Both are very unlikely to play in the match against Real Betis.
The good news is that Harry Maguire returned from injury against Arsenal, while the likes of Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay are also back in contention after Euro 2024.
Meanwhile, Real Betis played Man Utd’s fierce rivals Liverpool across the Atlantic, a game they lost 1-0 thanks to a goal from Dominik Szoboszlai. The Spanish club will return to Europe after a clash with Erik ten Hag’s side.
