90+4'

FULL TIME! Paulao's goal after 18 minutes wins this match for the home side. Espanyol were much better in the second half but couldn't make inroads after Wakaso's dismissal.

90+3'

And now we have the ninth booking of the evening! Alvarez joins the ever lengthening list.

90+3'

Casto's protest earns him a booking.

We will have three minutes of added time.

Betis go close! Nosa has the perfect chance to wrap up the win but drags his shot wide of the post!

89'

Agra is booked for a cynical pull of Victor Sanchez's shirt.

87'

Remember, Espanyol are down to 10 men here following that red card shown to Wakaso. Their performance has been quite impressive in that light.

85'

Here comes Verdu and he drives one wide of the post. Another chance goes wasted for the visitors.

82'

Time running out for Espanyol now - they have had the better of the second half but have nothing to show for it.

80'

A change for Espanyol as Capdevila is replaced by Victor Alvarez.

78'

Stuani is into the book for a foul on Nacho. That's the eighth yellow card in this game.

Betis remove Benat, who gets a standing ovation. Nosa is the man to replace him.

Pepe Mel is getting a substitute ready on the touchlines...

73'

Betis go close! Agra takes a shot from a tight angle and the ball takes a deflection before almost sneaking inside the near post.

72'

Verdu is offside once again as he tries to lift the ball over Casto in the Betis goal.

71'

Espanyol haven't just capitulated after losing Wakaso - if anything they remain the better team. Betis are still clinging doggedly to that lead though.

69'

Casto pulls off a save to deny Fonte as the forward unleashes a firm volley.

68'

Benat takes the free kick and swings the ball into the near post, where it is headed clear. Not the best free kick you will see the midfielder take.
