Leaders Real Madrid held to 1-1 draw by Betis

A stunning goal from Real Betis’s Aitor Ruibal cancelled out Jude Bellingham’s strike for Real Madrid early in the second half to earn the home side a 1-1 draw in LaLiga on Saturday.

“It was an even game, well played by both sides. We conceded a goal when we had the game under control but the result was fair,” Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told a news conference.

“Given the effort Betis made, they didn’t deserve to lose. The result is good. We’re happy because it’s a tough stadium. They scored a fantastic goal. I am satisfied; you can’t win every match.”
