Real Betis Cadete A (U16) has beaten San Roque de Lepe (7-0) with a hat trick by Toni and goals by Santos, Ángel, Edu and José, the last two were penalties. This gives Miguel Ángel Caro's team their fifth consecutive win in Group1 of the Andalusian U16 First Division – as they lost the rescheduled match corresponding to the 7th match day of the league - clear leaders with 40 points, having more goals in their favour (46) and less goals against (6).

 

Betis scored early in the match. Barely four minutes from the kick-off a long pass by José was controlled by Toni who took it right to the goal line than his inch perfect pass allowed Santos to score the first of the match making it 1-0. The scoreboard increased to 2-0 in the 25th minute. Toni took advantage of a pass between the lines by Santos and after beating his mark in a sprint he came out on top in the one-on-one with the visiting goalkeeper. In a very similar piece of play Toni scored again making it 3-0 almost at the end of the first half.

 

The second half started very much in the same vein as the first as the Green-and-Whites were the first to encroach on their opponents area. Toni, who already had two goals under his belt, came close to scoring the third on two consecutive occasions. The first in a counterattack which he was unable to finish because one of the visiting defenders cleared the ball off the line. This was followed by a direct free kick which struck wood in the top corner of the visitor's goal. However, the attacking midfielder did not squander his third scoring opportunity and put 4-0 on the scoreboard with a crossing shot in the 69th minute. The dying moments of the match provided the team from Heliopolis the chance to score 3 more goals, goals by Ángel, Edu and José; the last two were scored from the penalty spot making the final score 7-0 for Miguel Ángel Caro's team.
