Real Betis vs. Real Madrid: Score, Reaction from 2016 La Liga Match

Real Betis held on to a 1-1 draw with a rampant Real Madrid in La Liga on Sunday night as the Galacticos threw everything at their opponents at the Benito Villamarin Stadium.

Alvaro Cejudo gave Betis a shock lead after only seven minutes, but manager Zinedine Zidane's men controlled the match as they worked tirelessly for a winner after Karim Benzema scored an equaliser with 19 minutes remaining.

Betis' defence earned their stripes as they heroically battled Madrid's world-class front line, but Real will feel aggrieved not to have collected maximum points. The result keeps Los Merengues four points behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the title race.
