Antony Shines as Real Betis Crush Valladolid 5-1
Antony is quickly making waves in Spanish football, delivering another standout performance for Real Betis in their emphatic 5-1 win over Real Valladolid. The Brazilian winger played a vital role in the third goal, skillfully breaking through the defense and providing a sharp pass to Aitor Ruibal, who assisted Isco for a clinical finish.
Antony’s presence was felt throughout the game. He recorded 84 touches, maintained a solid 86% passing accuracy, and created a big scoring opportunity. While he didn’t score, he impressed with three successful dribbles and had one shot off target along with three others blocked. His efforts weren’t limited to offense either—he won seven ground duels, showing commitment on both ends of the pitch.

Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia returned to action for PSV Eindhoven, coming off the bench in the closing stages of their 3-1 win against FC Twente. Though his time on the pitch was brief, he made his presence known with two tackles, an interception, a clearance, and a perfect pass completion rate—going five for five and winning both of his duels.
In Austria, goalkeeper Radek Vitek played a full match for FC Blau-Weiß Linz, helping them secure a 2-1 victory over Rapid Wien. He made two vital saves inside the box, confidently claimed high balls, and punched one clear. Though solid in defense, his passing left much to be desired—completing only 30% of his total passes and hitting just 4 out of 20 long balls.
Overall Assessment
Antony’s resurgence in Spain hints at a potential future either back at Manchester United or as a full-time Betis player, depending on upcoming transfer decisions. Malacia’s return is a welcome sign for PSV and United, particularly with speculation about new left-back signings. As for Vitek, while his shot-stopping abilities are promising, he’ll need to work on his ball distribution to thrive in modern systems.
