Special circumstances require special actions and after the tragedy that occurred in the Valencian Community with the DANA that has left more than 200 dead and several missing, football returned this Saturday to Mestalla, with Betis being the first First Division club to visit this city after the catastrophe. . The green and white club, which already organized an important shipment of material several weeks ago, wanted to reach out to those most affected now on the field and before the match they already had several gestures with the Valencian population.
Firstly, during the morning of this Saturday, a delegation from the club, which included Joaquín Sánchez, José Miguel López Catalán and Rafael Gordillo, traveled to the town of Alfafar to deliver material for children to a school. .
Shortly before the ball started rolling, the club released an image of the locker room in which you could see how the green and white team will wear a shirt that will have space for the flag of the Valencian community and it was also revealed that under the number of the players, a web address will appear (realbetisconvalencia.es) that leads to a website where anyone who wishes can make a donation for those affected by DANA.
Valencia, facing a duel that promises to have a very emotional charge, will play completely in black and with several slogans on its shirt in support of the Valencian people.
Just before the match, with a large flag of the Valencian Community displayed on the grass, the displaced Betic fans showed a banner through which they showed their support for the hosts. Afterwards, a huge mosaic was displayed and the players placed a large black crepe on the pitch before the minute of silence.
Valencia managed to take the lead thanks to a goal from Tárrega who could not contain his tears when celebrating the goal. It didn’t take long for Pellegrini’s team to find the equalizer thanks to a great free-kick by Aitor Ruibal that Hugo Duro put into his own goal. Aitor and Bartra ran to celebrate the goal, showing a flag of the Valencian Community with a black crepe in a gesture that raised the Mestalla audience from their seats.
