    • - Thanks for joining us tonight! See you next time...
    • 90'+3 There goes the full-time whistle! And Atleti take all three points thanks to Forlan's brace!
    • 90'+2 FORLAN! Oooh! He's so full of confidence at the moment! He tries to curl one from outside the box... just wide!
    • 89' GOAL! FORLAN GRABS A SECOND! AND THAT SHOULD BE THAT! Luis Garcia brings down a long ball through before waiting for Forlan on the overlap... he arrives and finishes neatly past Ricardo at his near post!
    • 86' Oliveira! Oooh! His diving header from a Gonzalez cross is straight at Franco! It comes back out for Odonkor! What a miss! The German loses his cool in front of goal and blazes over the bar!
    • 83' Emana is replaced by Odonkor as Betis throw caution to the wind with time running out...
    • 79' Betis break now! Where's the Atleti defence? Emana bursts clear... but he pulls up and waits for support... it comes in the form of Edu on the overlap, but his cross if overhit!
    • 78' Oooh! Forlan brings a save out of Ricardo with a decent hit from outside the area! Corner to Atleti!
    • 77' And that will be Raul Garcia's last action of the night as he's replaced by Luis Garcia...
    • 76' Raul Garcia fires wide now as the game really opens up!
    • 75' Pongolle pulls back for Aguerro as Atleti break! But it's slightly too far behind the substitute, he slips and the chance evaporates...
    • 74' Aguerro finally comes on for Atleti!
    • 73' Ooh! Oliveira fires a header wide of the mark when perhaps he should do better!
    • 71' OFF THE BAR! Betis so close to the equaliser! It's actually Perea who gets the final touch, diverting the ball onto the bar after some dodgy Atleti defending!
    • 71' Edu delivers a dangerous cross into the box... put behind by Heitinga!
    • 70' Twenty minutes left, and time is running out for Betis to snatch something from this one...
    • 67' Aguerro, who started on the bench with a thigh niggle, is out of his seat and stretching...
    • 65' Oliveira outmuscles Ujfalusi as he bustles forward... he the ball won't sit kindly for the Brazilian and the chance goes begging...
    • 63' Maxi takes it after what seems like an age... straight against the wall!
    • 62' Atleti with a free-kick now, 25 yards out... danger looms... Maxi and Forlan over it.
    • 58' Heitinga goes into the book now as things get a little feisty out there!
    • 57' Ujfalusi appears to handle after misjudging a header! The ball falls for Gnzalez! But he can't convert! And the ref doesn't give a penalty!
    • 56' Juanito then piles into the back of Maxi, but the ref opts to keep his bards in his pocket...
    • 55' Pernia becomes the first player of the evening to be booked for a swipe at Gonzalez... incredible, considering it's a Liga game and we're 10 minutes into the second half!
    • 54' Atleti make a change... Sinama Pongolle comes on to replace Banega...
    • 52' Oooh! Raul Garcia glances a header just wide of the far post from Forlan's centre! What a chance!
    • 49' Heitinga plays a dangerous ball across the face of the Betis goal now... Forlan is lurking with intent, but Ricardo dives on the ball before the Uruaguayan can get to it!
    • 47' Betis with an early free-kick in the second half... but Emana leathers it well over the bar and the chance is wasted.
    • 46' Back underway at the Manuel Ruiz de Lopera!
    • 45' Half time in Seville and Atleti take a slim one goal lead in with them at the break, thanks to Diego Forlan's goal!
    • 42' Capi breaks through the Atleti defence after good work by Oliveira! He's one-on-one with the keeper... he scoops the ball over Franco - and the bar!
    • 40' Gonzalez skips past a couple of Atleti challenges before he shoots on target! Easy for Franco though!
    • 38' Vega with a decent throw-in and Assuncao knocks behind for a corner!
    • 36' But it's poor and it's an easy catch for Ricardo...
    • 35' Free-kick now to Atleti... Pernia to take it...
    • 33' Atleti are just passing it around at the moment... and the home fans don't like that.
    • 30' Corner now to Betis... Capi takes it, to the back stick, but nothing comes of it, and Atleti can breathe easier for the time being.
    • 28' Gonzalez launches a karate kick in an aerial challenge with Banega! And surely the ref has to give Atleti a free-kick for a high foot? He does.
    • 27' Oooh! Miguel's cross takes a heavy deflection... it loops up over Ricardo's head and bounces mere inches wide of the far post!
    • 24' Juanma has a problem here... and he is forced out of the game... Edu comes on to replace him.
    • 21' Gonzalez crosses again to the far post... this time Oliveira does get there to meet it, but his header flies over the bar!
    • 20' Down at the other end, it opens up for Maxi and the Argentine lets fly! But it's dragged wide of the upright and Ricardo isn't called into action...
    • 19' But now Gonzalez delivers a decent ball to the far post... but there's no one there and it's knocked behind for a corner!
    • 18' Gonzalez makes a real hash of his control as Betis look to get forward...
    • 17' Straight down to the other end and Pernia blazes well over the bar!
    • 16' But here's Oliveira looking to muscle his way through the visitors' defence... Franco is off his line quickly to claim!
    • 15' That's just what Atleti needed to calm any nerves they may have had prior to kick-off...
    • 14' GOAL! What a finish by Forlan! And Atleti lead! The former Manchester United striker pings Maxi's cross past Ricardo with a classy first-time finish!
    • 13' Ricardo Oliveira concedes a free-kick... and Atleti can build from the back...
    • 7' Atleti can move back into a European spot, level on 55 points with Villarreal, with victory tonight.
    • 5' Atleti players look for an offside decision to go their way... and fortunately for them, it does...
    • 1' Under way in a noisy Seville!
    • - Atletico Madrid are pushing for Europe while Real Betis are fighting off relegation as the two clubs meet in Seville.
