This was Mbappé's first league goal for Real Madrid, having opened his account for the club in all competitions when he helped them beat Atalanta 2-0 in the European Super Cup by scoring the second goal.

Mbappe, who was substituted ten minutes from time to be replaced by the experienced Luka Modric, was named man of the match.

The Madrid team's tally now stands at 8 points from two draws and two wins, 4 points behind leaders Barcelona, while Betis' tally stopped at 2 points from two draws and a loss, without any wins so far (with a postponed match).
