For me, that's Matondo at his best. Having the ball at his feet and just running. He went past three Betis players there. That's where he's the biggest threat.

He's not technically gifted but he's a threat on the counter.

I just wonder what it's like to have Matondo's pace. Wow!

That was amazing. A great run.

Rabbi Martondo knows how turn it on when he wants to.

He goes on another mazy, beating about four men before seeing a strike deflect out for a corner.

Abdallah Sima tees up Sam Lammers and his effort deflects out for a corner.

Borna Barisic takes to the back post and Connor Goldson nods it to Lammers, but he can't get a shot away.

Ben Davies makes a vital intervention as Borja Iglesias attempts to race through on goal.

Top defending.

Yeah, it's Tom Lawrence that makes way.

He's walking off which is a positive sign at least.

Rangers 0-0 Real Betis

Uh oh. Tom Lawrence is down and needs treatment.

This isn't a good sign given his recent injury record.

Sam Lammers is stripped.

Really brave play from John Lundstram gets Rangers motoring through midfield.

The move ends with Borna Barisic having a low ball cleared.

He could have done with that four yards deeper.

It's a beautiful free-kick. He's done exceptionally well with it.

It certainly was Borna Barisic territory and it comes over the wall and off the bar.

Rangers are coming to life.

It's certainly tight, but I think it's outside. Bartra hasn't seen Roofe, in his defence.

This is Barisic territory.

That's a sore one.

Marc Bartra is a lucky boy. His high boot hits Kemar Roofe on the chest, just on the edge of the box.

A free-kick and a yellow card given.

What a strike! That's a brilliant effort.

Rangers need to get Tom Lawrence on the ball more in that forward midfield area.

What a hit that is.

Tom Lawrence leathers one from 25 yards and it clips the outside of the right-hand post.

So unlucky.

Decent spell of possession from Rangers ends with Abdallah Sima whipping in a brilliant ball.

Rabbi Matondo just can't get there and it's knocked behind.

The corner comes to nothing.

Luiz Henrique has the first shot of the half, cutting in off the right before bending over the Rangers bar.

Away we go again.

Aberdeen manager Barry Robson: "I think when you wear that Aberdeen jersey, and you're in Europe, you need to try and show that mentality, desire, fight, tactical knowhow, and I thought they did all that in abundance tonight.

"That is a terrific team we faced out there, full of top players. They worked extremely hard, stuck to the tactical plan, and in the last 10 minutes we could have nicked a draw.

"I trust my players. They're a good bunch, and it's frustrating when it's a set-play and a penalty that's cost you. If they unlock you with a brilliant bit of play or stick one in the top corner, fair enough, but that set-play was really frustrating on our behalf.

"In Europe you need to be disciplined. It's a good performance, and we're disappointed that we didn't come away with anything, but we need to move on to a big game on Sunday.

"It's hard to press really high, and get after a team of that quality, but we got our press right and tried to transition on them quick.

"We've shown already in the three European games that we can compete against top teams."
