After a low cross from Marcos Llorente, Carrasco is completely free on the left at the level of the second post. The Belgian takes the ball directly from ten meters and tests Rui Silva with a low shot – the goalkeeper deflects this shot with a foot defence.

Yellow card for Ayoze Pérez (Real Betis)
There is a lot of ball in Ayoze Pérez’s tackle against Koke, but the referee still calls it a foul and also shows a yellow card.

22:16
An assistant referee appears to have sustained a muscle injury and switches positions with the fourth official. But after a short break, things continue quickly.
55
22:14
The flow of the game is repeatedly interrupted by fouls – the Madrilenians clearly lead this statistic with 14:4.
52
22:12
Atletico’s right side is definitely the more active in this game: Marcos Llorente and Molina play through well and the latter brings in another low cross into the box. But so far none of his flanks has found a buyer.
49
22:08
Griezmann sharply brings a corner from the right into the six-yard box and in the center Giménez climbs the highest and heads the ball to the crossbar! Atletico sniffs the lead early in round number two.
48
22:06
That didn’t look good: Molina slipped away with a lunge with her standing leg and obviously has pain in her thigh. The full-back initially bites his teeth and continues to play.
46
22:04
Both teams come out of the cabin without a change of personnel – the second half is on!

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:50
Mid-term conclusion:
Atletico Madrid and Betis Sevilla say goodbye with a 0-0 lead at half-time. The game started with two good chances for both sides: Savić invited the visitors 1-0 after losing the ball in the build-up, but Betis played the attack too sloppily. Immediately afterwards, Griezmann put the ball in the penalty area from a half-right position on the side netting and after 15 minutes Morata called for a penalty kick. However, the whistle didn’t sound right and the pace of the game then decreased more and more. The goalless draw is okay for both teams after 45 minutes.
45
21:47
End of 1st half
45
21:47
Carrasco asked to dance on the left edge of the penalty area and chipped the ball with his right hand towards the goal between the penalty spot and the six-yard box – however, no teammate ran with him and Betis let the ball roll out of the goal.
44
21:46
Both teams are now missing the goal and are probably satisfied with the draw at half-time. The ball is passed back and forth in midfield.
41
21:43
The final phase of the first half has begun and Molina starts to cross again on his right: his sharp cross flies across the six-yard box without another player even getting a chance to touch the ball.
39
21:41
Atletico didn’t finish a counterattack in their own stadium and then it went straight in the other direction: Pezzella intervened in Beti’s offensive and passed on to Luiz Henrique on the right wing. Again he plays in the backcourt, which doesn’t lead to success because Atleti defends attentively again.
36
21:37
Nahuel Molina (Atlético Madrid) is shown a yellow card.
Molina is late on the left side against Ayoze Pérez and pulls his leg up when he slides, bringing the offensive player down. He sees the first yellow card of the evening.
34
21:36
Luiz Felipe takes a lot of risks on the edge of the penalty area against Marcos Llorente: the defender rushes in from the side and separates his opponent fairly from the ball.
31
21:34
Marcos Llorente falls unhappily on his tailbone after a duel in the opposing penalty area and initially remains lying down. After a short break, the Spaniard pulls himself together again and seems to be going on.
29
21:32
Again it is Griezmann who becomes dangerous in the penalty area and in this case opts for a flat shot from the second row. The conclusion from around 17 meters is not a challenge for Rui Silva in the lower right corner because the necessary pressure is missing.
28
21:30
Atletico are now increasingly establishing themselves in the opposing half, but the home side still lack the final determination. Goals have been in short supply on both sides so far – but the Madrilenians are dominating the game after about half an hour thanks to more possession.
26
21:28
A powerful effort from Ayoze Pérez against Marcos Llorente and Koke earns Betis a corner. The guests play the standard from the left and cross at the second attempt to the center, where Oblak has an easy game in the six-yard box and catches the ball.
23
21:26
Griezmann runs a wide ball from the center on the edge of the penalty area, but is prevented from making a controlled second contact by the goalkeeper who has run out. The Frenchman can’t get the ball past the keeper and literally runs into nowhere.
20
21:23
The guests make themselves felt offensively again: A great volley sends the left-back, Miranda, into the depths. He has a lot of time and decides to pass to the backcourt – but Atletico is well positioned there and intercepts the pass collectively.
18
21:20
After this short moment of shock in his own penalty area, Betis is now trying to disturb more and keep Atleti further away from the goal. If the guests then win the ball, it is quickly gone again.
15
21:18
Atletico demands penalties! Carrasco plays his pace on the left and prevails to the baseline. He then pulls in a low pass to the first post, where Morata goes for the ball but is still slightly hit – immediately signaling that he was fouled. However, the referee stood well and allowed the ball to continue.
13.
21:15
Great solo from Griezmann through half the Betis penalty area! The Frenchman is unstoppable by several opponents and at the last moment lays out to the right on Morata, who lifts a chipball onto the back post. However, no player has positioned himself there and Sevilla can clarify the situation accordingly.
11.
21:13
Again Borja Iglesias appears in Atletico’s penalty area and Savić doesn’t look good! When trying to clear, the defender shoots the attacker in such a way that he can only take the ball with his hand – the referee whistles and the Madrilenians take a deep breath.
8th.
21:11
Then it’s straight on the other side and Griezmann hits the side netting from a tight angle on the right – it’s a lively start in Madrid!
7.
21:10
Betis miss out on Savić’s mistakes! Savić loses the ball in the build-up game and then three Betis players run towards Giménez. Borja Iglesias leads the ball, but then plays a cruel cross pass into the back of his teammate. Rodri shoots from an unfavorable position from 13 meters and Oblak easily plucks the feeble shot from the air.
5.
21:08
The hosts take control in this initial phase: Griezmann drops into midfield, gets the ball kicked and turns to the right. Through the lane he wants to put Marcos Llorente in the limelight, but he takes the wrong gap and plays the pass in his back. The ball rolls sideways.
3.
21:05
Luiz Henrique picks up the pace on the right and takes on two Atletico players. In the end, it is sidelined and Madrid are awarded the throw-in.
1.
21:04
Let’s go – the ball is rolling in Spain’s capital!

game start
21:00
Both teams are currently gathering in the players’ tunnel, so in a few minutes it can start in the Civitas Metropolitano!
20:46
Atletico won the first leg in October 2-1: Griezmann, who scored twice, shone with a corner that was converted directly. Fekir scored the goal just before the end – he will not be able to play today as a knee injury forces him to watch.
20:40
How are the two teams doing at the moment? The Madrilenians are unbeaten in eight games – most recently they lost in the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid and that only in extra time. Since then there have been two draws and six wins, which is currently reflected in third place in the table. Diego Simeone’s team has long since said goodbye to the championship race, so the top priority is direct qualification for the premier class. The guests from Seville have something against it: Betis are in fifth place with 45 points and are only six points behind Atletico in wait. Betis has also been unbeaten in La Liga for six games – during this time, however, two defeats against Manchester United and the early exit from the Europa League have crept in. Nevertheless, today’s duel should be a match at eye level!
20:33
The guests from Seville also went into the break with a win, but made it much more exciting in the 1-0 win over Mallorca. Borja Iglesias scored the goal of the day shortly after the restart in the second half – he is also there today and will occupy the center of attack. Betis are also making changes to their starting XI, with Luiz Felipe and Aitor Ruibal replacing Édgar González and Sabaly in the back four. William Carvalho and Rodríguez play on the double six, while Guardado is absent. Luiz Henrique replaces Sevilla’s number ten Canales on the flank, completing the rotation of the visitors.
20:18
Atletico Madrid beat Valencia FC 3-0 before the international break and coach Diego Simeone has made two changes compared to this game. Depay injured his thigh and is out for the time being. Morata moves into the storm next to Griezmann for him. Lemar is also new – he scored as a substitute against Valencia and applied for a place in the starting XI. De Paul, on the other hand, gets a breather after traveling with the national team.
20:02
Welcome to the 27th match day of the Primera Division and the duel between Atletico Madrid and Betis Sevilla! Kick-off in Spain’s capital is at 9 p.m.
