Atlético de Madrid ends winless streak with 2-1 victory over Betis: Portuguese Rui Silva and William Carvalho shine

After three consecutive games without any victory, Atlético de Madrid kicked off the crisis by winning 2-1 at home to Betis, in a game counting for the 27th round of the Spanish league.

The Portuguese Rui Silva and William Carvalho were used and were present in some of the decisive moments. From the outset, the Portuguese goalkeeper started in the Verdiblancos’ goal and scored an own goal in the eighth minute, following a move in which the ball bounced off three Betis players.

Just before half an hour, Rui Silva committed a penalty when he brought down Álvaro Morata in the area. However, on the kick, the Spanish forward allowed the Portuguese goalkeeper to save.

Morata, however, would score and put an end to the eight-game drought. After an incomplete save by Rui Silva, in the 44th minute, the Spanish striker scored the goal.

William Carvalho was introduced shortly after the break and needed just 17 minutes to be the protagonist. The Portuguese international scored a shot from outside the area and reduced the score for the Seville team, who were unable to reach a draw until the final whistle.

Atlético remains in fourth place, with 55 points, while Betis remains in sixth, with 42.
