Betis draw 2-2 with Bournemouth in friendly

Real Betis finished their preseason with a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at La Cartuja, according to Mundo Deportivo. A lively match where Pellegrini fielded his reserves after the Arsenal victory, while the English side arrived buoyed by their recent 10-1 demolition of Genoa.

The hosts dominated the first half with good attacking moves from Antony and solid defensive displays, but the visitors struck from nowhere: Evanilson's heel flick set up Kluivert's opener. A heated exchange followed, prompting referee Manuel Orellana to send off both Antony and Alex Scott in the 44th minute.

Playing a man down, Betis responded after the interval: Cucho Hernández equalized following an Isco attempt, though Evanilson restored Bournemouth's lead. Pablo Fornals rescued the draw in the 81st minute, wrapping up encouraging preseason impressions for the Andalusians.
