Abde Ezzalzouli sends Betis to the Conference League final

Abde Ezzalzouli was the hero for Real Betis on Thursday night. The Moroccan scored the goal that clinched his team's spot in the UEFA Conference League final.

The second leg was played in Italy against Fiorentina. In the first leg, the Spaniards had won 2-1. But La Viola quickly erased their deficit. Two goals from Gosens (34', 42') reignited hope for the Italians. Betis, for their part, answered only with a goal from Antony (30').

At the end of regular time: 2-1 for Fiorentina. Extra time. And in the 97th minute, Abde Ezzalzouli struck. A decisive goal. Betis leveled at 2-2. That score was enough to see them through.

On May 28, the Spanish side will face Chelsea in the final in Wroclaw, Poland. The English team knocked out Djurgården thanks to a 4-1 win in the first leg and a 1-0 victory in the return. Another big moment for Ez Abde. Another Moroccan making headlines in Europe, following Achraf Hakimi with PSG.
