Antony Shines in European Debut as Real Betis Dominate Gent

Brazilian Winger Scores and Assists in 3-0 Conference League Victory

Antony made an impressive start to his European journey with Real Betis, scoring on his debut as the Spanish side secured a commanding 3-0 win over Belgian club Gent in the UEFA Conference League. The victory puts Betis in a strong position to advance to the last 16, with the second leg set to take place in Seville next week.

Antony’s Stunning Goal Leads Betis to Victory

The 24-year-old Manchester United loanee opened the scoring with a brilliant low, curling strike from the edge of the box, marking a dream start to his European campaign with Betis.

Antony was also heavily involved in Betis’ second goal. He linked up with Isco, who set up Cedric Bakambu to double the lead with a close-range finish.

The victory was sealed in the 84th minute when Sergi Altimira found the back of the net, securing a comfortable advantage for Manuel Pellegrini’s team ahead of the return leg.

A Fresh Start for Antony at Betis

The Brazilian winger, who joined Manchester United for £81.3m from Ajax in 2022, has struggled to live up to expectations in the Premier League. With just one league goal since April 2023, he is looking to revive his career in Spain.

He also scored his first La Liga goal for Betis last weekend in a 3-2 defeat to Celta Vigo, showing promising signs of improvement.

What’s Next for Real Betis?

Betis remain in contention for a place in the next round of the competition. If they progress, they could face top teams like Chelsea, Copenhagen, or Hoffenheim in the next stage.

With Antony finding his form, Betis fans will be hopeful that he can continue making an impact and help the team achieve success in both domestic and European competitions.
