Morocco star Abde Ezzalzouli shines with goal and assist in Betis’ win over Oviedo

Morocco international Abde Ezzalzouli delivered another masterclass in front of goal as Real Betis swept aside Real Oviedo with a commanding 3-0 victory on Sunday in Matchday 34 of La Liga.

The former Barcelona attacker once again proved decisive, combining sharp movement, intelligent positioning, and end product to underline his growing importance in Manuel Pellegrini’s setup. Betis wasted no time asserting control of the contest, setting the tone early with aggressive attacking intent.

The breakthrough arrived in the 22nd minute when striker Cucho Hernández finished off a well-worked move to give the hosts the lead. From that moment, Betis took full command of the game, dictating tempo and stretching Oviedo’s defensive structure.

As the first half drew to a close, Ezzalzouli made his mark. In the 45th minute, he latched onto a perfectly timed run behind the defence and calmly slotted home to double Betis’ advantage. The goal not only showcased his pace and timing but also his growing composure in decisive moments.

After the break, Betis continued to control proceedings. Hernández added his second goal in the 58th minute, with Ezzalzouli turning provider this time, threading a precise assist to cap off a fluid attacking sequence. That combination effectively ended the contest, as Oviedo struggled to respond.

The visitors thought they had found a lifeline when Federico Viñas put the ball in the net, but VAR intervened to rule the effort out for offside, preserving Betis’ clean sheet and momentum.

Beyond the scoreline, the match further highlighted Ezzalzouli’s exceptional campaign. The Moroccan winger has now reached an impressive tally of 13 goals and 13 assists across all competitions, a reflection of both his consistency and his increasing influence in the final third.

For Betis, the result strengthens their position in the league standings and reinforces their attacking rhythm at a crucial stage of the season. For Ezzalzouli, it is another statement performance in what is becoming a breakthrough year at the top level of Spanish football.
