Good defending by Aissa Mandi to deal with Karim Benzema. Corner. But the corner is cleared.
Brilliant play by Betis' Antonio Sanabria, who holds off Casemiro as he tracks a long ball. He lets it bounce and shoots just wide.
Another Betis chance but Guido Rodriguez shoots wide from distance.

George Garden: No idea what's happening in the game, but had a leak from our kitchen roof a couple months ago. 2 joiners, a plumber, an electrician, a painter a load of mess and 2 months later it looks okay. I feel your pain.

Mickey Bricks: it still amazes me that premier league fans always compare their strikers with Benzema lol I don't think there's a number 9 better than him in the premier league right now. And yeah that includes Aguero! Not in the last 12 months
So close to an equaliser as Joaquin finds Nabil Fekir, who shoots just wide from 20 yards.
Real Madrid's first home game of the season is next Wednesday against Real Valladolid.
Their first two games have been on the road because the Bernabeu has been getting renovated.
They played their post-lockdown games last season at their training complex.
Sergio Ramos has just missed a sitter. Karim Benzema crosses, Federico Valverde pulls it back and Ramos volleys wide from close range. Was it offside? Perhaps. VAR would have had a look.
Federico Valverde
Real Madrid have their first goal of the season. It's great play by Karim Benzema, who sends a defender one way and then the other and then back again before crossing for Federico Valverde who stabs home from six yards.
Betis' Emerson crunches Casemiro and gets booked. This is going to be a normal live text now, don't worry.

Real Betis v Real Madrid (20:00 BST)
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane: "Betis has pretty much the same squad as last season, but they've changed their coach.
"Pellegrini is experienced and we know what he can add to his team.
"He's setting them up well and Betis have always had quality players. I think with the experience of this coach, Betis will be good this year and I'm sure they will be against us."
Brilliant save by Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois to keep out Antonio Sanabria's low header. Top goalkeeping.
Real Betis are managed by former Real Madrid and Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who took charge this summer.
They have beaten Alaves and Real Valladolid so far.
I can see the game again just in time for Ferland Mendy to cut in and shoot wide.
Amazing. My feed has just cut out.
And I haven't eaten today.
Real Madrid think they have the lead...but Karim Benzema had strayed offside from Ferland Mendy's cross. No goal.
The game has kicked off. I missed it because I was trying to tell my wife about what's happened.
Luka Jovic is starting for Real Madrid. That's unexpected.
