UEFA Conference League: Abde Ezzalzouli scores in the semi-final

On Thursday night, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli netted a crucial goal for Real Betis in the first leg of the Conference League semi-final against Fiorentina. The Moroccan international wasted no time in making his mark on the match.

In just the 7th minute, he broke the deadlock with a precise finish, capitalizing on a disorganized Italian defense. With this goal—his second in the competition this season—Betis quickly seized the advantage in a highly anticipated clash.

Spurred on by their home fans, the Andalusian side doubled their lead in the 64th minute through Antony. But Fiorentina refused to back down. Luca Ranieri pulled one back just minutes later, keeping the tie alive for the return leg. The decisive second leg will take place on May 8 in Florence at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. For now, the young Moroccan can savor this moment—a goal in a European semi-final is a milestone in any player’s career.
