Antony Conducts a Symphony of Destruction as Real Betis Demolishes Mallorca
Average Futmetrix Score: 37/100. Real Betis didn't just beat Mallorca—they announced their credentials with a 3-0 masterclass driven by intensity that left the visitors chasing ghosts from the opening whistle.
The Brazilian Takes Command from the Kickoff
Antony wasted no time establishing dominance. By the 10th minute, the winger had already converted an assist from Cucho Hernández into a goal, signaling what was to come. Betis had barely settled into rhythm when they'd already seized control—a clear statement of balance shifted decisively in their favor.
The intensity mounted when Héctor Bellerin orchestrated a defensive symphony from the right flank, feeding Antony for his second in the 34th minute. Just three minutes later, the Brazilian returned the favor, setting up Abdessamad Ezzalzouli for the match-sealing third. Betis had unleashed 29 shots—9 on target—in a display of suffocating control that left Mallorca searching for answers that never came.
Mallorca's Relegation Battle Deepens
The visitors arrived as La Liga's 17th-place outfit, and this scoreline reflected the growing gulf. With just one shot on target and an xG of 0.62 against Betis's 2.36, Mallorca were spectators to their own collapse. While possession remained split (52%-48%), the metrics that mattered—goals, clear chances, clinical finishing—belonged entirely to the hosts.
Antony's perfect 10.0 rating tells the story: two goals, one assist, and the rare ability to turn every touch into a threat. His performance wasn't just effective; it was a reminder why Betis sits fifth on 19 points, while Mallorca languishes in the relegation scrap with nine.
