Real Madrid started the game imposing themselves, exchanging passes in attack and it didn’t take long to score with Brahim Díaz. The midfielder received the ball with practically no goalkeeper in the area after a beautiful pass from Mendy. But that was it. From then on, Real retreated, gave up space by scoring badly and Betis grew in the game under the command of Isco, who previously played for the Madrid club. The player took a corner for Johnny to equalize with a beautiful header. Soon after, the play was repeated, but this time the Brazilian stopped in the hands of Courtois.
The second half continued with Betis better. In a counterattack, Isco passed it to Jesús Rodríguez, who invaded the area at speed and suffered a penalty from Rüdiger. Isco took a good shot and turned around. Afterwards, the home team continued to improve and missed some opportunities to expand. Antony didn’t shine, but he was important holding the ball on the right and helping with marking, as well as pulling off some dangerous counterattacks and relieving Betis. Real attempted pressure only at the end, after Endrick replaced Mbappé, but the team’s offensive sector was not inspired. Stay ahead of the curve with ToSport.
