- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Real Betis Balompie launch into their encounter with UD Almería.
- 5' 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 Luis Suarez suffering a number of foals already.

- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. UD Almería needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
