...
FULL TIME!!! Betis 1-1 Barca! Catalans lose ground on the title race!!
...
90' 3 minutes of stoppage time!!
...
89' LUIS SUAREZ EQUALISES!!! 1-1!! What a time to score!! Can they go on and win this?

...
86' Last 5 minutes of the game! Can Barca rescue this?
...
81' REAL BETIS MISS A GREAT CHANCE!!!! Ruben Castro should have made it 2-0! HE was one-on-one, but he took too long and Ter Stegen reads his attempt and keeps Barca in the game!
...
81' Why La Liga haven't yet implemented goal-line technology is beyond anybody's guess!!
...
80' The first attempt that was cleared of the line should have been given as replays show the ball was clearly off the line!!
...
78' AGAIN CLEARED OFF THE LINE BY BETIS!! Barcelona seem to have shown urgency and waited until they went  down to put the foot on the gas! What were they doing for the previous 75 minutes?
...
77' BARCA CLAIM A GOAL BUT REFEREE SAYS NO! That ball looks like it had crossed the line but they don't use goalline technology so there is no way of saying!
...
76' Nothing less than Betis deserves, though! Barcelona have been so poor this game. Messi has not had any sort od decent service from his midfield!
...
75' BETIS SCORE!!!! 1-0 to the home side! It was coming!! Alegria the scorer!!
...
74' RUBEN CASTRO HITS THE BAR AGAIN!!! It's the same old story! Barca lose possession and on the counter Castro drives into the box bamboozles two players and his low drive hits Ter Stegen's near post!!
...
70' CEBALLOS HITS THE BAR!!!! What an effort from the midfield man! Very unlucky! Barca have to wake up. They are being completely outplayed at the moment! Betis should be at least 3-0 up!
...
69' Ryan Donk to replace Ruben Parda!
...
68' Alba has replaced Arda Turan which is a very surprising substitution!
...
68' Yellow card for Petros for an elbow in Pique's face!
...
65' More misplaced passes as Enrique decides to throw on Jordi Alba.
...
64' Barca are really struggling to get out of their own half in the last 15 minutes. Very poor play but Betis must be complemented for their effort!!
...
60' TER STEGEN GETS AWAY WITH ONE! The keeper is way off his line with the ball and it is taken from him by Castro and then Pardo tries to find the back of the open net but does not hit the target.
...
59' The cross flies over and that also marks the end of Denis Suarez's game as Andre Gomes comes on
...
59' Another corner for Betis! Can they make it count this time?
...
54' The last time Betis beat Barcelona was 9 years ago! The Catalans took a 2-0 lead but Betis scored 3 second half goals to take the win! So far Barca have been second best for most of the game!
...
52' GREAT CHANCE WASTED BY VIDAL!! Messi finds him with a lob pass and the full-back could not keep the shot on target!!
...
51' The freekick punched away by Ter Stegen but Betis still holding Barca in their own half!!
...
50' Dangerous free-kick for Betis after another mistimed challenge from Vidal!
...
48' Another a stray pass from Denis Suarez who has been uncharacteristically poor this game. He has been in good form but for some reason, his game today has been disappoiting
...
47' Barcelona have to find a way through or else they will be letting go of another great chance to put pressure on the leaders!!
...
We are back underway
...
HALF TIME: Betis 0-0 Barca
...
45' CASTRO fires over! It would have made things a lot more complicated if that had gone in but it was wasted by the experienced attacker
...
42' Pique gets a yellow after a foul on Parda!! A good position for the free-kick
...
40' NEYMAR IS CALLED OFFSIDE!! That was a great chance for Suarez as he was set up by the Brazilian but Adan made the save anyway!
...
38' GREAT SAVE ADAN! Neymar gets the first clear cut chance after being found beautifully by Messi but with one-on-one, with the goalkeeper, he goes for the far post which Adan saves by sprawling to his left!
...
35' Neymar fouls Ceballos in an attempt to win the ball back but escapes a yellow with the crowd getting annoyed!
...
34' BARCA LIVING DANGEROUSLY!! Once again the attack is down the flanks with both Digne and Vidal struggling to stop crosses coming in. The ball almost falls kindly for an attacker to latch onto a shot but Mathieu just clears the ball away in time!
...
32' Barcelona have had only 3 shots so far! The cohesion fo their passing hasn't been up to the mark so far
...
30' GOAL BOUND EFFORT FROM RUBEN diverted away by PIQUE!
...
29' Betis are really playing their cards right in this game. Barcelona have hardly threatened and the home team are well on top of things carving chance after chance!
...
26' Neymar takes it instead and he tries a direct shot which curls high and wide of the far post. Wasted from Neymar and Pique has a word with him while jogging back to his half! A little selfish from Neymar
...
25' Neymar fouled right on the edge of the box! The Brazilian's quick feet is too much for the defender! Messi is over this!
