Real Betis wing-back Moreno relieved beating Rayo Vallecano after back pass shocker

Real Betis wing-back Alex Moreno was relieved after victory over Rayo Vallecano.

A disastrous back pass from Moreno led to Rayo's first goal and he admits he struggled to handle his error during the halftime break. However, he managed to later win a penalty against his old club, which was converted by Willian Jose.

After the 3-2 win, he said, "There have been many emotions for the goal, because in the end there is a lot of anger inside because I wanted to score, and I could not celebrate it out of respect for Rayo, for everything I did there, for his fans, who gave me a lot of love, and the truth is that I am very happy with these three points. The fortune of having scored the goal, the bad luck of 2-1 of not having seen, due to the communication ... a lot of emotions.

"In the end I was very screwed up in the first half, I get excited ... I have lived a lot last year and now I'm here facing everything I can. I came out mentally strong in the second half to fight each ball, as I have done in the third goal, in the action of the penalty. If I had not come out with that attitude, maybe I would not have fought for that ball."
