Good defending! That was an important intervention by Moreno! Kroos played a wonderful pass to the back post where Hazard was making the run, but it's put behind for a corner.

Real Madrid have started the better of the two teams. There' a good zip and intensity to their play early on here. Real Betis have been on the back foot for the full 10 minutes so far.
12'
Hazard's goal might have been ruled out for offside, but in that disallowed goal there was at least a glimpse of the player Real Madrid paid £100 million for in the summer window.

There's the first yellow card of the night, shown to Bartra for a lousy tackle on Modric.

Sidnei stepped up just in time for Hazard to be about 10 millimetres offside. There was next to nothing in that, but the officials made the right call with the help of the technology.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Hazard thinks that he has opened the scoring for Real Madrid with an excellent dribble and finish, but it's ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR review! The Belgian looks gutted!
7'
First chance of the match! Benzema's low shot across goal is pushed away by Robles in the Real Betis goal. The Real Madrid number nine looks lively. He's been in good scoring form of late.
6'
Mendy starts for Real Madrid at left back. He is another one of the club's summer signings who has so far struggled to find a place in the starting lineup. This is a chance for him.
5'
Hazard needs a good performance tonight. The Belgian has faced scrutiny in recent weeks. He was Real Madrid's big summer signing, but Hazard has so far struggled for his new team.
4'
Last season, it was Vinicius who became the new Brazilian darling of the Santiago Bernabeu. Now, however, it's Rodrygo, another Brazilian teenager, who has burst through. What a talent.

So as referenced to in the build up to this match, a win for Real Madrid will put them top of La Liga after Barcelona's defeat to Levante earlier in the day. That is the aim for the hosts.
