In the 11th round of La Liga, Real Betis defeated Mallorca 3-0 at home, ushering in a hearty victory. In this campaign, Brazilian winger Anthony was full of firepower. He scored two goals in the first half and added an assist, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

After failing to score for two consecutive weeks, Anthony announced his strong return with an explosive performance. In the 10th minute of the game, he and his teammate "Cucho" Hernandez completed exquisite cooperation in the middle, and then decisively kicked off outside the penalty area. A tricky long shot hit the dead center. The opponent's goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom could only look at the ball and sigh. Betis led 1-0.

Just 24 minutes later, Anthony once again made the home fans boil. In the 34th minute, he shot a curved ball with his left foot about 16.5 meters away from the goal. The ball flew into the net on a beautiful trajectory. Although Bergstrom struggled to save it, he was unable to do anything. This stunning goal expanded the score to 2-0 and completely destroyed the morale of the visiting team.

Anthony's performance is not over yet. In the 37th minute, he made a precise pass from the right and assisted Abd Izzazouli to score from close range, locking the score at 3-0 and bringing the first half to a perfect end.

After this campaign, the 24-year-old winger who once played for Manchester United completely proved his adaptability in the La Liga arena dominated by technology. Since returning to Betis, Anthony has been directly involved in 7 goals, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists, showing strong offensive finishing and creative abilities.

This victory not only ended the team's previous two consecutive games without a win (one draw and one loss), but also brought Betis points to 19 points, rising to fifth place in the standings, only 3 points behind the fourth-ranked team that has qualified for the Champions League. The prospect of competing for the fourth place is getting brighter.

In the next game, Betis will face an away challenge against Valencia, which is currently deep in the relegation zone. If this state of play can be continued, the team is expected to further consolidate its ranking and launch a stronger impact on qualifying for the European competition.
