- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 15' It’s high time Gerardo Seoane made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 46' A change in the Real Betis Balompie ranks — Juan Miranda exits the field as Alex Moreno enters on 46.
- 50' Lucas Alario was booked on 50.
- 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Real Betis Balompie side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 60' Real Betis Balompie started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
- 62' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Edmond Tapsoba.
- 64' The Real Betis Balompie manager makes a substitution. Nabil Fekir departs to be replaced by Canales.
