It was a decisive match and Betis had to accept defeat in the decisive battle for 6th place which they were still able to get.
But with the current conditions, their hopes of being able to go to a decent position next season must be dashed because their competition with Sociedad must end with a difference of 4 points and only 1 match left, which they cannot automatically approach at this time.
Sociedad and Betis are 2 dark horse clubs that are difficult to predict in terms of results when they meet each other and in yesterday's match also Betis was not bad but the goal in the first 5 minutes and the lack of good coordination in the Betis defense when facing Sociedad's fast counterattacks actually made them hassle themselves.
Sociedad played patiently in today's match and a good result was in their hands in the end.
Betis efforts to finish in the European zone were thwarted by Sociedad, who are their direct competitors, a 2-0 defeat in front of their own supporters was certainly very disappointing. Now that there is only one match left, Sociedad and Betis positions will certainly not change, regardless of the result of their next match. Betis will face Madrid, Sociedad will face ATM, we can easily predict who will secure full points.
Sociedad and Betis have experienced a slight decline in performance this season, where last season Sociedad managed to finish in the top four of the standings, and got the opportunity to play in the Champions League. Likewise with Betis, where last season they managed to finish in 6th place in the standings and got the opportunity to play in the Europa League. Sociedad next season will only be able to advance to the Confederation League, while Betis will be absent from any European competition.
On the other hand, the positions of Barcelona, Girona and ATM will also not change, regardless of the results they will get in the remaining matches ahead. Meanwhile, Cadiz, Granada and Almeria are certain to be relegated, these three teams are helpless to face the pressure in La Liga.
