Karl Jakob Hein.

**Estonian national team goalkeeper Karl Jakob Hein helped Real Valladolid to the club’s fourth win this season in the Spanish top flight, beating Real Betis 1-0 at home.**

**Valladolid** had a good chance to take the lead already on the 22nd second, with Anuar shooting it wide after winning possession on Betis’ half. In the 8th minute, Mario Martin sent a header towards the back post, with it just missing the target.

At the end of a relatively quiet half, Valladolid forward Marcos Andre hit it just wide after a low cross from the left flank and Lo Celso shot from a free kick from 30 meters toward Hein, with it going over the goal. The Estonian did not have to make a save in the first half.

Hein’s first save came on the 54th minute, as he caught Ezzalzouli’s low and central effort. Four minutes later, **Valladolid** took the lead through **Kike Perez**. The home team seemed inspired from the goal and started searching for a second goal, but **Marcos Andre**‘s efforts were just wide from **Betis’** goal.

**Betis** put on a lot of pressure, with hopes of finding an equalizer, with their most dangerous chance coming on the 9th minute of added time, as Valladolid captain **Javi Sanchez** blocked a shot, being a meter away from the goal line.

With that win, **Valladolid** rose to 19th place in the table, ahead of **Valencia**, who take on Sevilla. The final survival spot in 17th is a point away from Valladolid.

**Henri Anier’s** team, **Lee Man** (Thailand) lost their first game of the calendar year to **Tai Po** 1-0. Anier was in the starting lineup and recorded 79 minutes, with the only goal of the game coming on the 9th minute by Lucas Silva. Reigning champions **Lee Man** are currently fourth in the table, having two games in hand compared to league leaders **Tai Po**, who have 10 more points.

**Kevor Palumets** started in a training game for his new home club, **FK Podbrezova Železiarne**, who faced off againg Czech third tier leaders Kromeriži Hanacka Slavia. Palumets played for 60 minutes, as Podbrezova came out 3-1 winners.

**Vladislav Kreida** and **Sigma** also played in a friendly, against last place in Slovakia’s top flight, Skalica. The game finished in a 2-2 draw.

**Sinjavski** and **Slovacko** beat Slovakian team Trencinci 2-0 and **Paskotši** and **Grasshoppers** beat Austrian top flight leaders Sturm Graz 1-0.

**Georgi Tunjov** (Pescara) came on as a substitute for the final 15 minutes in a Serie C fixture against Rimini, with the game finishing 0-0. Pescara, who haven’t won in their last 5 fixtures, are currently 3rd in their regional table. Pescara’s next game will be against Pianese, who are winless in their last six fixtures.

**Oliver Jürgens** was an unused substitute for Ponferradina, as they lost to Sestao 1-2 at home. Ponerradina are currently fourth in the table, which would secure them play-offs for promotion to the Spanish second division.
