Betis level quickly
10. Aitor breaks through on goal. He takes it wide of Llorente and shoots. It bounces and hits the inside of the post before heading into the back of the net.
LEEDS CHANCE
12. Leeds almost go straight back ahead. The ball is played across goal and it’s loose. Harrison runs onto it inside the area but his volley is blazed over the bar. Should’ve hit the target.
Betis chance
14. Betis surge forward and United are caught short at the back. The La Liga side play it around when they should probably just hit it. Iglesias lays the ball off and Leeds clear at the last minute.
Raphinha shoots
15. The first we have seen of the winger today. He cuts inside onto his left foot on the edge of the box and his drilled shot is straight at Silva in goal.
LEEDS CHANCE
18. Betis have a free-kick. Leeds clear. United break with some good build-up play. Raphinha, again, shoots and forces Silva into a strong save at his near post. The corner is then cleared.
