Draw at La Cartuja

Real Madrid drew against Betis at La Cartuja. Our team started dominantly and took the lead after 15 minutes. Álvaro Valles deflected a long-range shot from Valverde, and Vini Jr., quicker than the defense, capitalized on the rebound to put the ball into the net in the 17th minute. Minutes later, in the 23rd minute, our team appealed for a penalty for a handball by Ricardo after a shot from Brahim. However, neither referee Soto Grado nor González Fuertes in the VAR awarded it.

Arbeloa's side continued to create danger. A beautiful chipped pass from Mbappé over the Betis defense set up Bellingham for a volley, but the goalkeeper made an excellent save to deny the goal in the 33rd minute. The final minutes of the first half had one standout performer: Lunin. Betis almost equalized with a shot from Antony in the 44th minute, but the Madridista goalkeeper made a spectacular dive to prevent the goal. In stoppage time, Bakambu went one-on-one with the Ukrainian, who reacted quickly with his left foot to prevent the forward from dribbling past him.

Opportunities
The first chance after the break came for Real Madrid. Trent took a corner in the 53rd minute, and Huijsen's header ended up in Álvaro Valles' hands. The game became end-to-end, and in the 66th minute, Cucho Hernández had a clear shot inside the box but was denied by an inspired Lunin.

Valverde also had a chance to score thirteen minutes later after a great solo effort, but the ball was deflected by Valles, who once again saved the 0-2, this time after a shot from Vini Jr. inside the box in the 85th minute. From then until the end, Arbeloa's team barely suffered until Bellerín equalized in the final play of stoppage time after several deflections in the area.
