Antony, a Brazilian on loan from Manchester United, scored in Real Betis’ resounding 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Sunday, putting on another incredible display.
In the 51st minute of the La Liga match, the 24-year-old gave his team the lead with an incredible left-foot volley that put him on the scoresheet.

He took advantage of the fact that Alex Remiro, the opponent’s goalie, had punched the ball after former Real Madrid player Isco had put up a set-piece cross.
At Estadio Benito Villamarin, Antony also provided Marc Roca with an assist in the 69th minute, securing a 3-0 victory.
Igor Zubeldia, the center defender for La Real, was sent off for a last-man foul in the first half, and his goal followed.
‘I’m incredibly satisfied with the game we had today,’ Antony stated after yet another outstanding performance. We continued to gain confidence because we realized that winning was crucial.
“I believe that happiness is the most important thing.” As I mentioned earlier, I’m really happy here.
“We continue like this, and I’m really happy to score and help the team.”
With three goals in four games for Real Betis thus far, the Brazilian star has had a fruitful loan term. In the first half of the season, he only scored one goal in 14 games for Manchester United.
He has scored in Real Betis’ league matches against Celta Vigo and the Conference League Last 16 play-offs against Gent since leaving United.
“I’m not giving myself a goal number.” Every day, I put forth a lot of effort at work. “I’m really happy here, really focused, and I’m enjoying every day,” Antony continued.
Despite suffering a poor season that saw them finish in 11th place in the La Liga standings, Real Sociedad came to the Villamarin as the clear favorites to win the match.
Giovani Lo Celso, a former Tottenham player, had a great opportunity to give Betis the lead in the 33rd minute, but his penalty was saved. Antony also got the penalty when he was fouled in the box.
Right now, his team is ranked eighth in the league table, three points from European football qualification places.
