		Thanks for following the game with us! Have a good night! (22:51:31)
		Real Betis earned their first win after five matches with only two points and four consecutive matches without scoring even a goal. From the very first minute they dominated the Andalusian derby against Málaga who showed a terrible performance and in the end they gained a well-deserved 3-0 win that brings them closer again to the European spots!
		Game over.
	90+2	Betis with a lot of ball possession. No attacks anymore.

	89	The hosts with a corner from the right side. The following pass to Pozuelo ended with an offside situation.
	88	Betis still looking for a hole in the guest defense from time to time but nothing really serious anymore.
	85	Molina who brought the hosts in front leaves the pitch with standing ovations. In for him is Nono. Also the last change for Betis.

	81	Combination by the guests over the right wing but Julio Baptista's shot didn't get through.
	80	Betis don't want anymore, Málaga can't.
	78	Sergio enters the game for Campbell who worked a lot for his team!
	76	Pozuelo with a nice run past several opponents, tries it with a distance shot but it goes over the crossbar.
	75	Long pass for Campbell. He was in a 1-on-1 with Caballero but failed to get enough pressure behind his shot. Easy save for the Málaga goalkeeper.
	74	Corner for the guests from the right wing. They immidiately lose the ball...
	72	Juan Carlos who had a good game leaves the pitch for Pozuelo. First change by Betis.
	69	Juan Carlos with a good opportunity. He came from the left wing and tried it with the outside of his left foot from the border of the six-yard box but he only hit the side netting!

	58	Offside also on the other side by the hosts.

	46	Start of 2nd half.
		Hosts Real Betis clearly dominated the first 45 minutes against the guests from Málaga and they earned a well-deserved 3-0 lead in this Andalusian derby. The score could have been even a lot higher as Betis had several great scoring chances! Molina was denied a goal with his penalty shot but the video recap showed that the ball was completely behind the goal line! Málaga are playing absolutely terrible.
		1st halftime finished.
	45	Goal for Betis! Long ball for Pabón. His header from inside the guest area was cleared with a spectacular save by Caballero but the danger was not yet over and Pabón scored with the rebound from a very sharp angle - 3:0 Betis!!
	44	On the other side Saviola with a clear offside position.
	43	After a Málaga corner Betis have a fast counter attack. Pabón with a precise cross towards the penalty shot point where Campbell waited but the Betis striker didn't hit the ball well and it went wide several metres.
	41	Isco with a shot from a central position, about 20 metres distance, no problem for Adrián.
	40	Long cross from the left outside lane by guests from Málaga. They find no team colleague.
	37	Betis continue with attacks, let Málaga no room at all.
	35	The replay showed that the ball was in fact behind the goal line! A goal was stolen from Betis by the referees!
	34	Incredible triple chance for Betis!! Jorge Molina with the penalty shot, hits the crossbar and then the ball comes back from the goal line, Molina takes the rebound and his header is just cleared by Caballero. The ball then comes to Juan Carlos who shot it past the left post!
	33	Camacho (Málaga) gets a yellow card for the previous handball that led to the penalty shot.
	33	Penalty shot for Betis! Camacho played the ball with his hand inside the area!

		Starting lineups: Real Betis: Adrián - Á. López, Mario, Amaya, Nacho - Cañas, Beñat - Campbell, J. Carlos - Pabón, Molina Málaga CF: Caballero - Antunes, Demichelis, Lugano, S. Sánchez - Toulalan, I. Camacho - Portillo, Isco, Joaquín - Saviola Referees: Estrada Fernández
		Real Betis are 8th in Primera División with 36 points in 24 games.Their guests for this Andalusian derby, Málaga CF, are 4th with 42 points but were excluded from playing in European competitions next season. Betis can't be happy with their performances in recent weeks. They stayed without a win in the last five league matches against Athletic Bilbao (1-1), Rayo Vallecano (0-3), Atlético Madrid (0-1), Real Valladolid (0-0) and Espanyol Barcelona (0-1). In their last four games they didn't even score a single goal. Málaga on the other side stayed unbeaten in their last five league matches against Celta Vigo (1-1), RCD Mallorca (3-2), Real Zaragoza (1-1), Levante UD (2-1) and Athletic Bilbao (1-0). The head-to-head record between the two teams is quite even for games in Sevilla but Betis won their last home match against Málaga in Primera División in January 2004. If Betis can get back on the winning track or if Málaga continue their positive trend, we'll see soon.
		Welcome. Game starts at 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET.
