Real Madrid dominated for long spells at the Benito Villamarin on Friday but had to settle for a point after Real Betis held firm for a 1-1 draw. The visitors edged possession and piled forward with 20 shots to the home side's 10, yet couldn't find a breakthrough before the break as it finished goalless at half-time. Álvaro Vallés stood tall between the posts for Betis, pulling off save after save to keep his side level, and his performance was enough to earn him the man of the match award with an 8.42 rating. The second half brought goals at both ends, with Madrid's superior threat eventually matched by Betis grit. Ten corners and eight shots on target underlined Madrid's control, but Vallés made sure Betis walked away with something to show for their resilience. A draw probably flatters Betis on the balance of chances, though on a night like this, character mattered just as much as quality. For Madrid, dropped points on the road will sting given how much of the game they controlled.
