    It's really hard to believe... That was a game of Betis for long, but in the end reversed by Malaga with two late goals, and in the overtime a missed penalty by Ruben Castro. In the second half Betis' play was too defensive, and the change with Juanmi was a great decision by coach Schuster. He equalized, and after the second assist of Amrabat Darder scored too. Ruben Castro could've make a draw in the overtime, but his penalty hitted only the cross bar.
