After regaining the leader position from "Barcelona" a week ago, Madrid's "Real" club falls back to second place. Zinedine Zidane's team suffered a setback in the 27th round of the "La Liga" championship against Seville's "Real Betis". The "white" team struggled throughout the game and, after a serious mistake at the end of the match, admitted their opponent's advantage - 1:2. "Barcelona" gained a two-point lead after the failure of the Madrid club. "Real Betis" showed character from the beginning of the match and forced their opponents to work seriously. The Andalusian efforts paid off in the 40th minute, when defender Sidnei took control of the ball in the penalty area after a corner kick and put the team ahead with a fantastic shot. However, Madrid's "Real" club received a gift just before halftime from the same Sidnei, who already earned a penalty by fouling in his penalty area. With this chance, the guests from Madrid equalized through Karim Benzema. In the second half, the situation did not change much - "Real Betis" continued to dictate terms. Once again, "Real" shook the goal structure, but the hosts felt much more comfortable with the ball. In the 82nd minute, a decisive goal fell into the net of the Madrid team when K. Benzema made an inaccurate pass in the middle of the field, and Christian Tello grabbed the ball and surged towards the goal, overpowering Thibaut Courtois with a powerful shot. Madrid's "Real" club further tested the nerves of the hosts' fans in the remaining time, but the result did not change. The matches that took place next Sunday ended with victories for the teams of "Leganes", "Osasuna", and Bilbao's "Athletic". Another match ended in a draw.
