Benzema had his most memorable real opening from the get-go in the last part and associated well with Dani Carvajal's cross yet the shot was directly at Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva. The Frenchman nearly won it with seven minutes left, yet terminated over subsequent to chesting down Rodrygo's ball in.
Marcelo, Isco and Joaquin all came on and Joaquin ought to have scored in the 86th moment. Cristiano Tello's cross to the back post was hampered pleasantly to the striker be that as it may, from eight yards, he missed the goal.
