Real Madrid Secures Narrow Victory Over Real Betis
Vinícius Júnior's Goal Earns Victory
La Liga Title Race Heats Up
Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of the La Liga table with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Real Betis on Saturday. Vinícius Júnior's stunning strike from outside the box proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Brazilian forward unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that found the back of the net in the 90th minute, sending the Santiago Bernabéu into raptures. Real Madrid dominated possession throughout the match but struggled to create clear-cut chances against a resolute Betis defense.
Marco Asensio came close to doubling Real Madrid's lead late in the match, but his left-footed effort went inches wide of the post. Betis had a few opportunities of their own, but they failed to capitalize on them and were left to rue missed chances.
The victory sees Real Madrid extend their unbeaten run in La Liga to nine matches and puts them four points clear of arch-rivals Barcelona at the top of the table. Betis, meanwhile, remain in fifth place.
The match was watched by a packed crowd of 249,000 at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. The atmosphere was electric as both sets of fans created a deafening roar throughout the match.
