The late Sunday meeting was scoreless until the middle of the second half. Then Federico Valverde worshiped the Betis defense with a delicious back-heel pass on a strike. Fräkkisen freed Mbappé who ice-cold rolled in 1-0 with his left foot in front of his new home crowd at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With a quarter of an hour remaining, Mbappé put the ball up on the penalty spot and then sent in the 2–0 goal that effectively secured Real Madrid’s three points.
At the top of La Liga, the full points scorer Barcelona has already made a small move after four rounds, thanks to Real’s drawn away games against both Mallorca and Las Palmas.
