Real Madrid’s early struggles in LaLiga took a positive turn on Sunday as Kylian Mbappe scored twice to secure a 2-0 win against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu. The French forward, who had yet to find the net in LaLiga, delivered when it mattered most, helping Madrid overcome a challenging start to the season.
Despite dominating the first half, Madrid struggled to break down Manuel Pellegrini’s well-organized Betis side. The pressure intensified after Vinicius Jr. hit the post early in the second half, and Mbappe missed an open net on the rebound, though he was offside.
The breakthrough finally came in the 67th minute when Mbappe, receiving a perfectly placed pass from Federico Valverde, calmly slotted the ball past Betis goalkeeper Rui Silva. The goal brought relief to the home fans and boosted Madrid’s confidence.
Mbappe added his second goal just eight minutes later from the penalty spot. Vinicius was fouled in the box, and after a VAR review, referee Javier Alberola pointed to the spot. Mbappe confidently converted the penalty, securing the win for Madrid.
The victory moved Real Madrid into second place in LaLiga, with eight points from four matches, trailing leaders Barcelona by four points. This performance will be a confidence booster for Mbappe and the team as they continue their domestic campaign.
