Chelsea v Real Betis LIVE: Latest score and updates from Conference League final

50 mins: Better counter-attack by Chelsea, Jackson runs onto a long ball forward and cuts it back from the byline but neither Palmer nor Fernandez are there. He’s been rather isolated at the top of Chelsea’s formation.

48 mins: Neto tries to get to a Chelsea cross down the right but it’s intercepted by a Betis shirt. Chelsea are trying to make a fast start to this half but the Betis defence are holding firm at the moment.

James floats a good ball to the far post but there’s no-one in space to receive it.

46 mins: James is the only player in this Chelsea squad who featured in the 2021 Champions League final, per TNT Sports.

One change for Betis too: Romain Perraud comes on for Ricardo Rodriguez in defence.

The players are out for the second half. Maresca had to make changes after that showing and he has: Reece James is on for the suffering Malo Gusto.

45+1 mins: That’s that, Real Betis lead at the break in Wroclaw courtesy of a beautiful finish by Ezzalzouli, and the Spaniards deserve to.

Fernandez gets into a bit of a spat with Bartra at the half-time whistle.

45 mins: Slightly frenzied end to this half as Chelsea hunt desperately for an equaliser. One minute added on. A Fernandez attempt takes a deflection, Adrian runs to collect but it goes out for a Chelsea corner. Fernandez’s delivery is good and Chalobah rises to meet it but it’s headed clear.

43 mins: Caicedo in fact does not get a booking! Just the free-kick, wild.

Jorgensen collects the delivery from Antony but spills it; Natan rushes back for the rebound but Chelsea clear and look to counter before Fornals makes an immaculate block.

Now Chelsea counter again and Adrian throws his entire body in the way to deny Fernandez. That looked painful.

41 mins: Caicedo goes into the book for a crunching challenge on Isco. Chelsea protest but no dice. Free-kick to Real Betis on the left, about 30 yards out from goal. Antony and Isco stand poised to take.

39 mins: Chelsea are dealing better with Betis’ threat down the right. Isco attempts a difficult pass forward with Ezzalzouli and Bakambu in the box, but Chelsea get bodies back and Jorgensen collects.

Palmer looks for Jackson as Chelsea counter and the Blues look a little brighter, but it’s hoicked clear.

35 mins: Dreadful. Gusto runs in behind and holds things up before squaring to Neto on the right, but he launches an attempt up into the stands.
