Roma vs Real Betis live - Updates as Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini go toe-to-toe in the Europa League

The resuling free-kick, whipped in by Dybala, is a dangerous one, and it leads to two Zaniolo shots which both get blocked

That's a nasty tackle by Luiz Felipe, the man who got sent off for Real Betis at the weekend. The ex-Lazio man lunges in on Zalewski and earns a booking

The visiting number 10 tries his luck from 25-yards, but drags his shot wide of the far post with Patricio never too concerned

I don't want to necessarily accuse Mourinho of parking the bus, but certainly Roma are sitting deep and allowing their Spanish visitors to have plenty of the ball

Fekir coming off certainly hurts the visitors in an attacking sense. He was playing in the number 10 role - it looks like Canales is occupying that spot now

And indeed Fekir is withdrawn - replaced by Luiz Henrique. 23 minutes in and we've had to players, one from either side, come off injured

Fekir is down injured here. You may remember he was once linked with Liverpool, and they reportedly pulled out of the move due to concerns over his fitness. He's just returned from injury and it looks like his night is over

Chris Smalling nods down Dybala's free-kick, but Zaniolo lifts his shot miles over the bar

They're pushing forward and seeing plenty of the ball in the Betis half of the field, but they haven't done much with is so far

And now the goalkeeper is called into action again as he easily catches Guardado's long range strike

That's an excellent bit of play by Fekir, who dips inside and eyes the bottom corner, only to hit the post. Patricio was well beaten. Terrific effort

They haven't created much yet, but the hosts are certainly enjoying plenty of possession and look threatening through the pace of Paolo Dybala and Tammy Abraham

The midfielder has a go from just outside the area, but Rui Patricio gets down to his right to save

That's a huge blow for Roma as Zeki Celik, on the end of a heavy collision a few minutes ago, limps off, replaced by Spinazzola

Well, I'm baffled at that decision. Zaniolo put the ball past the defender and tried to run through one-on-one, but had his path to goal blocked. The referee gives nothing for what was a clear foul by Pezzella

Nicola Zalewski tries his luck from 30-yards and shoots well over the bar
