Real Betis 2-3 Villarreal — xTears 21.58 (10/03/24)
Villarreal came back to win 2-3 against Real Betis on 10 March 2024 during Matchday 28 of La Liga. Total damage: 21.58 xTears.
The biggest gut punch came from Álex Baena 40' goal (+1.24 xT).
The match changed hands after the first blow, and Villarreal's comeback ended up outweighing the opening phase. The pain was self-inflicted, and it stung: own goal (S. Papastathopoulos at 48'). The match lost its cool with 7 yellows and 2 reds. E. Ávila eventually walked for a second booking.
