In the early hours of November 3rd, Benito Villamarín stadium roared as Antony dazzled with a brace and an assist, playing a major role in Real Betis’s 3-0 win over Mallorca in La Liga’s 12th round.

Antony’s impressive brace helped Betis break into La Liga’s top five.

This victory not only ended the Andalusian club’s disappointing streak but also brought them back to the leading pack, temporarily placing them 5th in the standings with 19 points, just three points shy of 4th place.

Right from the whistle, Real Betis started confidently and quickly capitalized on their advantage with a goal in the 10th minute. Antony – the Brazilian star who once played for Manchester United – made a powerful run on the right flank, combined smoothly with Cucho Hernandez, then struck a left-footed shot like a hammer that beat goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom.

Betis didn’t stop there and kept up intense attacking pressure. In the 34th minute, Antony once again delighted the crowd by linking up with Hector Bellerin before curling a skillful left-footed shot into the far corner, doubling the home side’s advantage. Three minutes later, the Brazilian player continued his influence with a precise assist to Abde Ezzalzouli, who finished close-range to make it 3-0 before halftime.

In the second half, Mallorca tried to push for a consolation goal, but all efforts by striker Muriqi were neutralized by Betis’s defense. In the 76th minute, Antony nearly completed a hat-trick breaking away on a quick counterattack, but his shot was blocked by Bergstrom’s foot. Still, the two goals and one assist were enough for Antony to be named man of the match.

After two weeks without scoring, Antony came back strong, demonstrating rapid adaptation to La Liga’s technically focused style. To date, the 2000-born player has contributed to 7 goals for Betis since his return, including 5 goals and 2 assists.

Antony’s brilliant form not only helped Real Betis regain their winning momentum after two matches without victory but also gave fans confidence in a new phase of progress. In the next round, Betis will travel to Valencia – a club struggling near the bottom – aiming to extend their hot streak and continue the battle for a Champions League spot next season.
