Three added minutes...
Real Betis 4-3 Celtic
Anthony Ralston now goes surging down the right to win a corner for Celtic.
Real Betis defend the corner well, though. Tense.

Quote MessageNothing less than Celtic deserve, they've been on the front foot in the last ten minutes. Ralston uses his strength and is courageous to get in there and set up a huge last five minutes.
Anthony Ralston
Hello!
A fantastic free-kick comes in from David Turnbull wide on the left, and Anthony Ralston stoops to head home from a few yards.
Three minutes plus stoppage time for Celtic to salvage something...
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
David Turnbull drills a low shot in after good hold up play from Albian Ajeti. It's a comfortable save for Claudio Bravo, though.

Can Celtic find something?

Quote MessageCeltic are missing Kyogo's work rate as much as his presence going forward. Ajeti is just standing up front waiting for the ball to come. He has to go and press the Betis backline a bit more at least.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
Borja Iglesias flashes a shot from a tight angle just past the far post. The striker was very close to a second goal.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
Cameron Carter-Vickers shows good pace to recover and get to the ball before Sergio Canales. The Betis man was clean through otherwise.
Betis have taken the sting out of this game, something you don't feel Celtic would have been capable of given their squad options.

Quote MessageBetis have made four changes so far but when you look at Celtic's bench they don't have the chance to do that. Substitutions can be so crucial in changing a game, that hurts Celtic tonight.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
Anthony Ralston bulldozes into Juanmi and then fumes at the referee for penalising him.
Betis have been brilliant out wide tonight. Can Celtic find anything?
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
A triple change by Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini. Andres Guardado, Nabil Fekir, and Alex Moreno are those to go off.
William Carvalho - a Euro 2016 winner with Potrtugal - is one of those to come on.

Quote MessageCeltic will continue to attack and get chances, that's in their nature. It's a great hit from Rogic, he's unlucky.

Quote MessageBetis, with their two-goal lead, I suspect will use their experience to try and stop Celtic from creating anything now.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
Tom Rogic cracks the post!
Terrific play by Jota again as he delivers to the far post, where Rogic is waiting to strike the volley.
So close to a third goal for Celtic.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
This feels very Celtic Europa League 2020/21. Get themselves in front, before losing all control of the game.
Anyway, terrific skill from Jota to skip away from a couple of Betis players, then Tom Rogic matches it with a little birl around to earn a free kick.

Quote MessageThe game has passed Soro by, both on and off the ball. On a couple of occasions that has cost Celtic.
Real Betis 4-2 Celtic
Albian Ajeti heads home Tom Rogic's terrific cross, but the flag is up for offside.
Correct decision. No VAR review this time.

Quote MessageCeltic need to find a big reaction and get back into this game somehow. They've let themselves down defensively tonight.
