Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Real Betis Balompie welcome Villarreal CF for this crunch clash at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
- 5' The travelling Villarreal CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Francis Coquelin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' A quiet spell here at Estadio Benito Villamarin. Villarreal CF seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolas Jackson made 423 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Betis Balompie and Villarreal CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 40' Poor challenge from Yeremi Pino. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 45' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Alejandro Baena has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' Real Betis Balompie are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 54' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Alejandro Baena on, Gerard Moreno off on 54 minutes.
- 59' 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 Guido Rodriguez suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Magnificent from Rodri! That is 3 goals in 365 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 66' The 35-year-old German Pezzella has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 69' A tactical swap from Real Betis Balompie — Aitor Ruibal on, Rodri off on 69 minutes.
- 72' Time for substitution for Villarreal CF. Etienne Capoue is replaced by Francis Coquelin.
- 77' Villarreal CF are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 78' Villarreal CF make a change. Nicolas Jackson trudges off to be replaced by Jose Luis Morales on 78 minutes.
- 83' Villarreal CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 84' Andres Guardado gets the nod from Real Betis Balompie. He replaces Luiz Henrique and will look to change the dynamic.
- 89' The crowd applauds Borja Iglesias as he leaves the pitch. Willian Jose steps in for Real Betis Balompie.
- 89' Real Betis Balompie receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 89.
- It finishes all square. Real Betis Balompie and Villarreal CF share the spoils 1-0.
