That's a terrific chance for Betis to open the scoring! A moment later, Betis do get it to Joaquín in shooting space - and his effort grazes the post, with De Gea looking beaten! Juan Miranda is out to warm up on the touchline, and Betis may have to make a change. He tries to touch it out wide to Pellistri, but misreads the Uruguayan's intentions and plays it behind him. Back come United, Wan-Bissaka scuttling forward into the box in search of a yard of space to cross. Fred receives 30 yards out and slips it to Weghorst, who has peeled off from the top of the box. He struggles to bring the bouncing ball under his spell, and is muscled off it by Sabaly, to huge cheers of approval from the Betis fans. After playing a one-two in the right-hand channel, the 21-year-old's first touch is slightly too heavy when he receives the return, and he ends up felling Rodríguez as he stretches to get the ball back under his control. Bruno loses it in an area where he really doesn't want to lose it, and after keeping the ball neatly for a moment or two, Betis work it to Miranda on the left. He doesn't give Pezzella the ball back as quickly as the Betis defender would like him to, and the pair engage in a brief bout of shovey-shovey. It's worked to the England striker in space to shoot on the left-hand side of the Betis box, but Rui Silva dashes off his line and blocks! Ruibal slips the ball into the winger's path, and he gets his head down and sets off towards the United box.
