[Aurelien Tchouameni](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/265919/Aurélien-Tchouaméni), 22, was the man of the match as he continues to impress since taking the place of stalwart midfielder [Casemiro](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/173666/Casemiro), who left Real to sign for [Manchester United](/football/team?id=360).

"I'm coming back from an injury but feeling great. [Rodrygo](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/267804/Rodrygo) thumped home a close-range finish from a [Federico Valverde](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/235818/Federico-Valverde) cross. [Real Madrid](/football/team?id=86) academy alumni [Sergio Canales](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/125383/Sergio-Canales) smashed an equaliser in between [Thibaut Courtois](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/134283/Thibaut-Courtois) legs. [David Alaba](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/118444/David-Alaba) passed to [Vinicius Junior](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/252107/vinicius-junior) with a magnificent long ball in the 9th minute, and the Brazilian raced forward and lobbed the ball over Betis goalkeeper [Rui Silva](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/177898/Rui-Silva)'s head.

A plethora of great individual performances with Tchouameni and Militao particularly impressive in the team's first home win of the season.

Dani Ceballos—8: A fireball of energy off the bench. Then makes a late arriving run into the box from the right half-space and lays off the game-winning assist. Mere seconds after coming on, hounds the opposition and wins the ball high up the pitch. It was a lively match with the two Brazilian jewels — Vinicius and Rodrygo — scoring the goals. Luka Modric—7: So fun to watch the little Croatian work his magic. Tchouameni—9: Incredible performance from the Frenchman in his debut at the Santiago Bernabeu. Combined well with Benzema and Vinicius Junior. Won 10 of his 50/50 duels, 6 aerial duels, had 4 interceptions, and game high of 7 tackles completed. Earned the pre-assist on the game winning goal, finding Valverde’s run in the box. Then swung a mouth-watering cross into the box on a short corner play. Earned the love and affection of his new fans. Defensively was a mess: lost track of Canales on the goal and was skipped past by Alex Moreno to earn the throw-in which led to the goal.

It's a match between the only two perfect teams in La Liga as Real Madrid face Real Betis in Matchweek 4 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

[All the action from Real Madrid vs. Real Betis can make this a close game, knowing they would likely not survive a shootout with Real Madrid's attacking firepower. They haven't lost on the road to Real Madrid since 2017. -145 / +115 +115 / -145 There was only one goal scored across the two matches in which both sides faced off in league play last season. Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and forward Willian Jose are officially registered and will be hoping for their first minutes of the season. Los Blancos also get Nacho Fernandez back on the bench, and his return will be handy with reserve defender Jesus Vallejo out. The match from the Santiago Bernabeu will kick off at 16:15 local time on Saturday afternoon. Qualification to the Champions League is critical to boost the Verdiblancos' budget in future seasons given their limited budget. If last season's head-to-heads are any indication, it should be a tight encounter at the Bernabeu. Madrid, who will be playing their first home game of the season, have conceded in all three matches, but goals from stars Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr.
