- 0' That's the starting whistle at Estadio Benito Villamarin. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Real Betis Balompie and Villarreal CF.
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Villarreal CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Villarreal CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Betis Balompie and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Etienne Capoue is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Villarreal CF.
- 35' Samuel Chukwueze has been relatively quiet despite scoring 33 goals in his last 407 appearances.

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

- 69' It is a substitution in Real Betis Balompie team. Rodri is replaced by Aitor Ruibal on 69 minute.
