It finished Betis 0-0 Lugo after extra time, with Betis eventually - some time close to 1am - going through 5-4 on penalties. So, a third goalless draw in a row, and although Julio Velázquez said it was the performance he's been most happy with since the season started, most observers begged to differ. Once again the verdiblancos barely created a chance and the thin crowd was chanting the name of Pepe Mel during extra time. On the plus side, we can't say the defence is the main worry any more. Oh, and 18-year-old Dani Ceballas made a very promising start as an attacking central midfielder.
