The substitution of Juan Camilo Hernández at halftime in Montilivi was one of the decisions that raised the most questions in the match. The forward, who had started the game, did not return after the break and his replacement sparked debate about whether there was a physical issue.

The substitution of Cucho Hernández at halftime of the match played in Montilivi did not go unnoticed. The Colombian, a starter in the initial lineup, stayed in the locker room after the break and Cédric Bakambu took his place for the second half.

The explanation came afterwards, during the press conference of the Real Betis Balompié coach. Manuel Pellegrini detailed that the substitution was due to knee discomfort that the attacker was experiencing and that prevented him from performing normally.

Despite the setback, the Chilean coach highlighted the contribution of the players who came off the bench. "Bakambu came in very well, as did Riquelme. Both participated in the goals," he emphasized during the press conference.
