The defeat against Deportivo Alavés at the Benito Villamarín Stadium, which leaves Betis in 6th place in the standings after 14 matches, overshadowed two facts which deserve to be highlighted. The first of which involves Rubén Castro. The forward from the Canary Islands managed to score another goal, this time off a penalty, To equal Rincón record of 93 goals and joint second place in the list of the Clubs highest scorers. Only Domínguez is ahead with 94 gaols, so it would be of no surprise if the forward from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria smashes this record in the next few matches.

Another piece of good news, despite the defeat involved Varela, who wore the green-and-white shirt for the first time in a league match. The apprenticve had his debut with the first team last season in the UEFA Europa League against Rubin Kazan under the leadership of Gabriel Humberto Calderón. Yesterday was the first time the wing-back from Atarfe had match minutes in a national league encounter, showing the conditions that had made him one of the key players in the Betis reserves, amongst them, his excellent left leg.
