Changes at Real Betis. Argentine center back Valentín Gómez makes his debut, joined by Ángel Ortiz and Ezequiel Ávila. Hector Bellerin, Marc Bartra, and ‘Cucho’ Hernández are out. The former Velez Sarsfield player plays his first minutes on European soil.
62
What a kick ‘Cucho’ Hernández took. Bellerin passed to the Colombian player, who pivoted perfectly, but center back Thomas hit him from behind and received a yellow card, the first of the match.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL FOR REAL BETIS. What a goal by youth player Pablo García, who strikes the ball with his left foot and sends it into the net, leaving the home goalkeeper with no chance and tying the match between these two teams.
46
The second half kicks off with Coventry City leading 1-0 against Real Betis, with changes to the Spanish team. Ricardo Rodriguez and Aitor Rubial are replaced by Junior Firpo and Pablo García. We'll see if Betis can equalize in this match.
45
The first half ends with Coventry City leading Real Betis 1-0 thanks to a goal from Jack Rudoni, who recovered a misplaced pass from ‘Roro’ Riquelme and scored the only goal of the game so far. We'll see how the second half unfolds.
38
Pablo Fornals strikes the ball powerfully, but it goes well over the bar. Roro Riquelme and Mawuli Mensah link up again and Real Betis are back on the attack. There is no doubt that the Verdiblancos' football runs through those feet.
33
After the home team's goal, Betis continues to try to close the gap through possession of the ball, but has been unable to do so. Mawuli and Riquelme have clearly dropped in form, and without the spark provided by these two, it is difficult for the Spanish team to create danger in the opponent's half.
26
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL FOR COVENTRY CITY. If you don't score, you watch others score, and that's exactly what happened in this case. A mistake by ‘Roro’ Riquelme, who missed a pass, allowed Rudoni to steal the ball, evade Pau López, and score into an empty net.
23
New arrival from Real Betis Balompié, the first goal for the ‘Verdiblancos’ is getting closer and closer. Great cross from Rodrigo Riquelme with his left foot sending the ball to the penalty spot for ‘Cucho’ Hernández to head and send the ball close to the goal.
15
A back-and-forth match with chances for both teams. The last one is a shot by Colombian striker Juan Camilo ‘Cucho’ Hernández from mid-range after a counterattack by Real Betis.
8
Real Betis' first chance of the match. Great individual play by winger Mawuli Kwame Mensah, who breaks through with the ball and shoots at goal, forcing Rushworth to tip it away for a corner.
