Real Madrid hosted Betis in the fourth round of La Liga and won a hard-fought victory over their opponents.
Kylian Mbappe worked harder than anyone else that night. The Frenchman kept trying to score, but the defenders or the goalkeeper intervened.
The striker was able to score against the Seville team only in the second half, but did it twice at once.
In the 67th, after a cool backheel pass from Valverde, Mbappe met the keeper and scored his first La Liga goal. Minutes later, a penalty allowed the Frenchman to chalk up a double.
