Three minutes added at the end of the half.
Can we not have a half-time, please?

Rangers would have liked to have held out until half time with the goal advantage.
I do not think Rangers will be overly pleased with how they have defended in this first half.

The defender's allowed to put his body in there.
There's contact, but I think it would be a soft penalty.

Cyriel Dessers wants a pen.
He takes a slight nudge in the back when going for a header but it isn't enough for VAR to get involved.

It just shows again that Rangers can be an attacking force in transition if they get the bodies forward.

This is honestly unreal.
Ross McCausland drives forward and slips in Abdallah Sima. The angle is tight but his finish rolls just wide of the far post.
So close.

You can't argue that it is probably the right scoreline given the opportunities Real Betis have created in the first half.

That finish is so, so accurate into the corner.
It's completely out of the reach of Jack Butland.
Ayoze Perez
The standard of this game - AND the finishes...
Isco has a dance at the edge of the Rangers box then puts the ball into Ayoze Perez, who bends a beauty into the far corner.
What. A. Game.

The home support are slowly beginning to turn against their own team.
Rangers have had a fair slice of luck at the back but the two goals they have scored look as if they have stunned the Betis players.
Should the Ibrox club score a third, it was be really interesting to see what the response would be.
Real Betis 1-2 Rangers
Ayoze Perez skips away from a challenge in the box then attempts the classic Thierry Henry finish. You know the one.
It's nowhere near the corner though and Jack Butland claims.

It has been very, very eventful.
It has been a fantastic game so far with some great goals.

The gaps for Rangers on the break...
Cyriel Dessers looked in again there but James Tavernier opted to pass for Ross McCausland instead.
It breaks down.

His hand's right by his side. It deflects onto the hand.
Real Betis just stopped playing. There was an opportunity there, they should know VAR will check it.
Real Betis 1-2 Rangers
The home crowd and a few players are screaming for a penalty.
Connor Goldson's arm is by his side and the ball hits his thigh first before clipping his hand.
He gets away with it. Can't predict the outcome of these things anymore.

Juan Miranda can cross a baw.
The Betis left-back drills another across goal but Rangers survive again.
Real Betis 1-2 Rangers
Cyriel Dessers looks to try and make something happen at the edge of the Betis box, but he's always under pressure then gives away a foul.

We're getting a much-needed breather here - and so are Rangers - as Betis knock the ball about a bit.
As it stands, with Sparta two up in Limassol, it's the La Liga side who are third.
Real Betis 1-2 Rangers
We're 23 minutes in. That's gone by in a flash.
This is easily the best game I've watched so far this season.
Mayhem.
