Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane had rolled out four pre-match changes to the team that had played against Napoli as Nacho, Isco, James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata replaced Pepe, Casemiro, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Cristiano Ronaldo was fit regardless of all the worries over a muscular issue, while Toni Kroos and Luka Modric both kept their places amidst the ground.
In the 4th min of the Real Madrid vs Real Betis match, Ronaldo waltzed into the Betis box and went down under the challenge of Tosca. But the referee was not intrigued and waved a play-on. James then conveyed a hazardous cross into the Betis box, searching for Morata, though the smart defending from Mandi saw Betis escape with only a corner yielded. Just three minutes later, there was a wonderful chance for Real Madrid to take the lead when Morata broke into the Betis box and delivered a low cross towards Ronaldo, but his effort was well wide off the post!
In the 21st min, it was the Betis supporters making most of the noise as their side continued to defend amazingly and frustrate Real Madrid. James, Isco and Morata continued to drift all over the pitch while Ronaldo held the left, though the five-man defence of the away side was working a treat at the moment. Big moment in this match came in the 22nd min, as Brasanac went through on the Real Madrid goal and beat Navas to the ball before going down. But the referee was disinterested! In the 24th min, Ronaldo went straight down the other end for his team to hit the side-netting. Yet, Betis were still smarting from that decision from the referee. Surely Navas had to be sent off there!
With a little over five minutes left of the first half of the match, and the scoreboard being on the side of the away team, Betis seemed pretty comfortable dealing with Real Madrid’s threat here. The home side needed more from Ronaldo and Morata in the final third. Real Madrid leveled with the away team just five minutes before the break as Ronaldo delivered a header, making the best use of a wonderful Marcelo cross into the back of the net. Betis were been unable to hold onto their first-half lead here.
In the 62nd min of the match, there was a super challenge from Durmisi as he tried to prevent Ronaldo from taking the lead by breaking into a one-on-one situation with the away team’s goalkeeper. Ronaldo didn’t complain, which suggested that the ball was played! In the 73rd min, Ronaldo had the ball in the back of the opponent’s net, but the offside flag was raised. A couple of minutes later, Ronaldo missed the post after breaking into the Betis box. All in all, Ronaldo did his best to deliver a goal and help his teammates put up a good show.
