Min.78Double change at Eintracht: Lenz and Hauge enter for Kamada and Lindstrom
Min.77Double change at Betis: Borja Iglesias and Tello enter the field in place of Willian José and Ruibal
Min.74Finally! Yellow card for Hinteregger (after his umpteenth foul), for grabbing Ruibal, when he was going towards Trapp’s goal
Min.73Another arrival from Betis, although without excessive danger: a deep throw-in that reaches the feet of Willian José, who passes it to Miranda who crosses into the area. There Ruibal finishes… but well above the goal.
Min.70Very dangerous foul at the front of the area favorable to Betis, after the umpteenth foul by Hinteregger… who has not yet seen any card.
Min.67Another rude mistake by Edgar, who gives the ball to Kamada and Kamada, with his heel, leaves it to a Santos Borré who shoots point-blank against Bravo, but the Chilean deflects the ball with both hands. PARADON.
Min.64Bravo stop! after a new error of the Betis in the exit of the ball. Eintracht recovers it and Kostic finishes off from the small area in a ‘heads-up’ with the Chilean goalkeeper, who again saves his team from the third German goal.
Min.63Favorable corner for Eintracht that ends at the edge of the area, from where Kamada shoots and the ball is poisoned after hitting a defender, but Bravo stops without problems.
Min.60Double change at Betis: Carvalho and Juanmi leave the pitch and Miranda and Joaquín enter in their place
Min.56Another lack of Eintracht, who is trying to make the game have no rhythm at all. Total fouls: Betis 3 – Eintracht 13.
Min.55Quick counterattack from Eintrach, which Kostic ends with a shot that is too crossed from the corner of the area
Min.54Betis has had it! In a quick counterattack led by Fekir, who passes it to Canales. The Cantabrian makes a wall with Willian José but the defense gets ahead of the Betic when he was going to finish off and sends it to a corner.
Min.51 Penalties in favor of EintrachtRuibal’s hands inside the area, but Bravo stops Borré’s shot. The Chilean goalkeeper keeps Betis alive, since a 1-3 would have been very negative for the Andalusians.
Min.49Fekir rushes into a Betis counterattack. The Betis team attacked with an advantage, but the Frenchman rushes in when making the last pass and ends up directly in the hands of Trapp.
Min.46No change at break. Both coaches trust, for the moment, in the same players who have played the first 45 minutes.
Start the second part!Betis will have the first possession
19:46Both teams are back on the pitch at Benito Villamarín and everything is ready for the second half to start. Remember that this is a two-way tie, so both teams will try to get to next week’s match with options. One goal can change everything.

Eintracht goes into the break with an advantage on the scoreboardWithout doing anything fancy, the Germans have been able to take advantage of their few scoring chances to beat Bravo twice. Kostic put Eintracht ahead with a cross/shot that slipped into the Betis goal. Kefir equalized with a great goal, but on the next play, Kamada put the visitors ahead again. What will happen in the second part?
RESULT AT BREAKREAL BETIS 1-2 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT
END OF THE FIRST PARTThe referee does not lengthen anything and whistles the end of the first half 10 seconds after the 45 regulation minutes have passed.
Min.44Betis tries before the end of the first half. Now it is Canales’ turn, who tries it unsuccessfully from long distance. His shot goes wide.
Min.41Last minutes of the first half and Eintracht does not want anything to happen before going to the locker room. A new foul on Fekir, who is receiving a great deal, although they are always minor fouls and the Germans come out ‘scot-free’ without any warning.
Min.37This second goal seems to have affected Betis a bit, as they are proving to be very imprecise when it comes to getting the ball out and making mistakes that are unbecoming of a team with the Verdiblanco’s technical level
RESULTREAL BETIS 1-2 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT
Min.32 ¡GOL DE KAMADA! How little the joy has lasted for Betis. Serious error of Edgar in the exit of the balloon, that Lindstrom arrives. The Dane drives the ball to the baseline and once there he makes the ‘death pass’ so that Kamada shoots alone from the small area
RESULTREAL BETIS 1-1 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT
Min.29 ¡FEKIR DE GOOOLAZO! Betis recovers a ball in the center of the field and the ball reaches Canales, who passes it to Fekir and the latter, after cutting diagonally from the corner of the area, beats Trapp with a threaded shot very close to the post. A very Messi-style goal.
Min.27Betis attacking play led by Sabaly… that ends in nothing because his (bad) center goes directly out well above the Eintracht goal
Min.24The Betis players are very ‘hot’ with the arbitration of the Italian Marco Guida. Yellow card to Sow for a hard tackle in midfield
Min.21The German team is prevailing physically in all duels. Yellow card to Fekir for kicking the ball after the referee pointed out a highly protested foul in a recovery by the French player.

Min.18How little Eintracht needed to get ahead on the scoreboard, but Betis must remain true to their game, seeking control of the ball and combinations between the players at the top. The Germans, if they already seemed comfortable with 0-0, with 0-1 even more so.
RESULTREAL BETIS 0-1 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT
Min.14 ¡GOOOL DEL EINTRACHT!In an isolated play, the ball reaches Kostic who tries a cross to the far post but the ball is poisoned and slips into Bravo’s goal very tight to the crossbar. Goal or churro? Be that as it may, the Germans are ahead on the scoreboard
Min.13Great individual play by Fekir, who starts from the center of the field, after leaving a couple of rivals behind, but as soon as he reaches the edge of the area, instead of sharing the game, he decides to shoot from afar
Min.10Betis tried, but could not find space between the lines of the German team, very well armed from behind. Canales has a hard time being the protagonist, but he is the only one who leaves any detail in the Betic attack
Min.7Eintracht is very well placed on the pitch, with its three central defenders and two lanes, leaving few spaces for the Betis ‘players’ (Fekir, Canales,…) to come into play too much
Min.4After Betis’s initial chance, both teams are now in a phase of testing and positioning themselves on the pitch, although it is Pellegrini’s team that is showing more interest in having control of the ball. Eintracht arrives on the counterattack, but without excessive danger
Min.1First chance for Betis! Long kick by Bravo, who crosses the entire field and reaches the feet of Canales who attempts a shot from the edge of the area, but Trapp stops without problems
The ball is rolling at Benito Villamarín!And the first possession of the match will be for the German team
18:44Betis jumps onto the pitch with a support shirt for Ukraine, invaded and attacked by Russia since last February 24. Several banners with the slogan ‘Stop War’ have also been seen in the stands.
18:42Remember that the Betis-Eintracht and Porto-Olympique de Lyon matches have been advanced to today but all the rest of the qualifiers will be played tomorrow, March 10
