Events

Match Events

  • 5' RC Celta de Vigo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 6' The deadlock is broken! Aitor Ruibal gets on the scoresheet on 6 minutes.
  • 11' Both keepers have barely been tested. RC Celta de Vigo and Real Betis Balompie are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 16' A goal from the Spain international Iago Aspas! He fires home on 16 to make it 1-1!
  • 21' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

  • 38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 43' Ayoze Perez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RC Celta de Vigo tonight.
  • 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jorgen Strand Larsen suffering a number of foals already.

  • 72' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

  • 79' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 84' William Carvalho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 89' The Real Betis Balompie manager makes a substitution. Isco departs to be replaced by Rodri Sanchez.
