After the break, Valencia were supposed to take the lead for the first time in the match, but Bravo managed to refute Duro’s shot from close range. Betis also responded with a dangerous moment when Giorgi Mamardashvili, who parried Juanmi’s shot with an outstretched boot, followed by Nabil Fekir and Iglesias in quick succession.
Still, the main time ended in a draw, the teams had to play extra time, but the teams failed to score, which meant everything would be decided in the penalty shootout.
