  1. William Carvalho almost puts the 10 men of Real Betis ahead but his curling effort from 25 yards is tipped away by Thibaut Courtois.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Madrid make a change up front as Borja Mayoral replaces Luka Jovic.

  3. Aissa Mandi is the only Algerian to score against a Zinedine Zidane team. He also netted against Real Madrid on 18 February 2018.

  4. Excellent defending by Aissa Mandi. Luka Modric feeds Karim Benzema on the edge of the box but Mandi stops Benzema getting a shot away.

  5. So close. Federico Valverde crosses it in for Karim Benzema who pokes wide from close range.

    Twenty to go.

  6. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Betis bring on a right-back to cover for Emerson. Martin Montoya replaces forward Antonio Sanabria.

  7. Close. Sergio Ramos curls his free-kick just wide - into the side-netting.

  8. Sergio Ramos to take the free-kick...

  9. RED CARD

    Real Betis are down to 10 men. Emerson is sent off for a professional foul on Luka Jovic just outside the box.

  10. After all that the referee is going to the screen.

  11. This has been a very long wait - they're checking about two or three things I think.

  12. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    They are checking whether Emerson fouled Luka Jovic right on the edge of the box. It would be a red card offence if it is. Unless he was offside...

  13. SUBSTITUTION

    Cristian Tello, who scored a 94th-minute winner for Real Betis on the opening day, replaces Joaquin.

  14. PENALTY APPEAL

    Real Madrid want a penalty as a Betis defender heads the ball onto his arm, which was out in front of him. No penalty.

  15. Real Betis try to play a short free-kick and I'm not sure what the plan was but a player looped the quick ball up into the air and it's out of play.

  16. That was the first own goal to go Real Madrid's way in La Liga since 1 December 2018 when Valencia's Daniel Wass put the ball into his own net.

  17. Another Nabir Fekir for Betis chance as he cuts in and shoots just wide.

  18. Fiorentina lead Inter Milan 3-2 now with Federico Chiesa putting them ahead.

  19. YELLOW CARD

    Madrid midfielder Luka Modric is booked for a bad foul.

  20. DISALLOWED GOAL

    HMMMMMMMM.

    That Karim Benzema shot - as he controlled a cross and hit a shot on the bounce - definitely crossed the line. He must have been offside.
