The Brazilian winger assisted Isco for the opening goal in the 18th minute and later set up Juan Hernández, who won a penalty. Isco converted from the spot in the 77th minute, despite Antony’s insistence on taking the kick himself. Getafe responded with a goal from Borja Mayoral in the 82nd minute, adding late tension to the match. Moments later, Antony made a rash challenge from behind, receiving a straight red card. Shortly after, Getafe’s Duarte was also sent off for a second yellow card, as Betis managed to hold onto their lead.

Since arriving on loan from Manchester United, Antony has contributed three goals and two assists in six league matches. The victory moves Betis up to seventh place in La Liga, while Getafe remains further down the table in 14th position.
