Héctor Bellerín strikes late to earn Real Betis 1-1 draw against Real Madrid
Héctor Bellerín scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to earn Real Betis a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at Estadio Benito Villamarín on Friday. Vinícius Júnior had opened the scoring for Madrid in the 17th minute, finishing from close range after Federico Valverde's effort was parried by goalkeeper Álvaro Valles. Madrid dominated much of the match and had several chances to extend their lead, with Andriy Lunin making several fine saves, but failed to put the game beyond reach. The visitors were punished in the 93rd minute when Ferland Mendy lost possession inside the box and Bellerín drove a low effort through defenders to secure a point. Real Madrid now sit eight points behind leaders Barcelona, who can extend their advantage to 11 points with victory over Getafe on Saturday.
