Thanks for joining me tonight for this relatively humble clash in the grand scheme of things - an entertaining game though, some very good football on show! Levante good for fourth place, or a flash-in-the-pan that big-spending Malaga will douse soon enough? Get in touch if you like on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport.

And there you have it - a good win for Levante, who move fourth! Bravo! Betis, meanwhile, stay 12th, well clear of relegation but a good two wins shy of a Euro place.

Benat with a through-ball to Santa Cruz, lovely turn from him on the edge of the box and he's in but in a panic of sorts he smashes a dreadful finish about five yards over! That shot was so rotten it practically had a half-life!

Pereira slips a pass in for Molina, centre-right, a shimmy past the defender and a rising drive but with the angle right it's a routine parry for Munua!
90+3
Lots of space for Barkero now on the left but a horrorshow of a cross sails about 20 feet over Suarez, who was neatly placed at the far post, and out for a goal kick, almost a throw.
90+2
Some hesitant Levante defending lets Pereira in but a combination of an unlucky bobble and hesitant footwork mean he takes an age to dig out a shot, allowing the home defence to close him down and clear.
90+1
Suarez in a lot of space on the Levante right but his cross is too close to Fabricio, who plucks it out of the air with ease.
90'
Four minutes added time.
89'
Molina and Santa Cruz - who is looking very heavy-legged - almost combine but the latter's touch lets him down and it spins away for a goal kick.
88'
A Betis attack of mild promise breaks down with a poor ball that Munua lets sail out for a goal kick.
87'
Juanfran tries a crossfield pass, but it's a bit Hollywood with Lopez nowhere near keeping that in.

Pallardo on for Valdo as Levante make their final chance.
84'
Poor free-kick half-cleared but Nacho has it wide left: his cross is headed clear, then he commits a foul trying to retrieve the ball.
83'
Valdo commits another foul and needs to watch it, as he has been booked.
82'
Nice cross Nacho but Ballesteros again intercepts with his chest and Levante clear.
81'
Barkero and Valdo almost combine in style to tear Betis apart but the latter's final ball is intercepted by Canas and Betis clear.
80'
Munua punches Benat's delivery away but Betis have it once more...

That corner will be taken belatedly as a Levante player - Iborra took a shot in the face earlier in that move. He's okay.

Super cross by Castro and a header from Pereira but tipped over by Munua!

LEVANTE SUB: Ghezzal, who appears to have either picked up a knock or tired somewhat, comes off to great plaudits. Suarez in place.
