It took Real Madrid almost half of the first period to establish their control over the game. However, they managed to create a few serious chances to break the deadlock.
Toni Kroos and Casemiro came the closest, but their low shots went just wide, with the first-half ending in a goalless stalemate.
The Blancos looked much improved in their attacks after the interval. They increased the pressure on Betis’ backline while trying to avoid surprise counter-attacks.
However, the guests managed to hold on to their defensive integrity, surviving a few more critical moments at the dying stages of the game.
