In a competitive La Liga football match on 28 May 2023, Girona FC hosted Real Betis at Estadi Montilivi in a thriller that ended 2-1 in favor of the visitors.

Girona FC kicked off the scoring in the first half with a goal from Miguel Gutierrez, assisted by Reinier at 35:47. This proved to be the only instance where they penetrated Betis' defense in the entire match. Their attacking prowess was examined with just three shots finding target out of nine attempts. This was overshadowed by Betis' effective attacking force, clearly indicated by their much superior shots on target (7), with Borja Iglesias Quintas scoring twice in the second half at 47:20 and 1:16:39, assisted by Sergio Canales Madrazo and Juan Miranda respectively.

Corner kicks were another facet of the game where Girona FC looked dominant, taking 8 compared to Betis' 5. However, their lack of conversion on the offensive end seems to have been a decisive factor in the match's outcome. Betis, on the other hand, proved more proficient with their chances, despite lesser corner kicks.

The defensive play of both teams was more or less evenly matched. Girona FC committed 14 fouls while Real Betis was marginally better with 12, but with one yellow card handed out to Guido Rodriguez at 1:26:00. The home team's strategic play of the offside trap was moderately successful, catching Betis offside 3 times compared to their own 2.

In terms of physicality and discipline, the game was conducted fairly. Both teams refrained from blatant misbehavior, with zero red cards being issued. However, the away team's single yellow card could indicate a more aggressive approach which might have contributed to their ability to overturn Girona's early lead.

In conclusion, despite Girona FC's eye-catching performance in corner kicks, their lack of effectiveness in front of goal ultimately cost them the match. Real Betis demonstrated their superior offensive capabilities with more than double the shots on target and a finish that rewarded them with two priceless away goals. Their ability to keep their composure despite being behind, and to turn the game in their favor, was the defining aspect of the match.
