Real Madrid 2-0 Betis: Mbappe’s Double Secures Victory at Home
Real Madrid heads into the international break with a crucial 2-0 win over Real Betis, thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s first La Liga goals for Los Blancos. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. With two wins and two draws, Madrid’s still unbeaten this season, but they’re trailing Barcelona by four points. The pressure was mounting, and the Santiago Bernabéu crowd felt it.
The first half was tense, and the team struggled to find their rhythm. Vinicius Junior nearly broke the deadlock, but his shot only rattled the post. Frustration grew among the fans as chances slipped away. Then, Mbappe stepped up.
Just when the game seemed to be heading towards another stalemate, Mbappe latched onto Federico Valverde’s clever flick, calmly slotting the ball into the net. The tension lifted instantly. With the crowd back on their feet, the French star sealed the win with a coolly taken penalty, putting the game beyond Betis.
Now, with this vital win under their belts, Madrid will take a breather during the international break. Mbappe, riding high on his match-winning performance, will join the French national team before returning to face Real Sociedad on September 14.
