Despite Jude Bellingham’s impressive 12th La Liga goal of the season, Real Madrid was unable to secure all three points against Real Betis. Bellingham, who was a constant threat, opened the scoring with his 16th goal of the campaign after a neat exchange with Brahim Diaz. However, Aitor Ruibal’s wonder strike canceled out Bellingham’s effort.
Los Blancos controlled the first half, but lacked a clear opening, with Brahim Diaz’s goal ruled out for offside. Betis had their moments, and Andriy Lunin made crucial saves, denying Ayoze Perez. Former Madrid player Isco also created problems for his old club.
In the second half, Bellingham initiated the move on the left wing before finishing off a neat exchange with Brahim. However, Betis’ full-back Ruibal responded with a remarkable goal, strolling into Madrid’s third before rifling a shot into the top corner.
Isco had a chance to win it for Madrid in the 90th minute but glanced a header onto the post. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both sides with a point each.
In the lead-up to the match, Carlo Ancelotti’s side had a significant opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table, with Barcelona playing Girona on Sunday. Both teams had been in fine form, with only three losses between them in the La Liga EA Sports season.
