A late strike from Antonio Sanabria for Real Betis was all they needed to defeat Real Madrid 1-0 for the first time in 19 years in a LaLiga Santander clash at the Santiago Bernabeu last night.
It was the first time since 1998 that Real Betis emerged victorious at the Santiago Bernabeu. Former Nigerian winger, Finidi George, was the match-winner on that occasion.
The defeat means Real Madrid drop to seventh in the LaLiga Santander with eight points from five games. The reigning Spanish champions now trail Barcelona who hit Eibar 6-1 earlier on Tuesday night by seven points. Zinedine Zidane’s side failed to score for the first time in 74 matches in the encounter despite dominating and creating several scoring chances.
Real created several chances to open scoring in the opening minutes with Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Daniel Carvajal all recording attempts on goal.
Casemiro was next to come close but his header in the 17th minute went inches wide of Antonio Adan’s far post.
