Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Real Betis and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Benito Villamarin. Kick off is at 20:00 BST.

After weathering a bit of a Real Madrid storm for five minutes or so there, Real Betis are now taking the opportunity to calm things down a bit and zip some passes around the middle.

Jovic hasn't seen much of the ball, he hasn't been presented with many chances, but the Serbian is occupying defenders and that is giving Benzema lots of space to exploit.

The replays show that Ramos' shot actually picked up a deflection from Bartra, but the officials didn't spot it. Nonetheless, the Real Madrid captain should have hit the target!

Ramos misses a sitter! How did he miss?! Benzema's cross was knocked down to Ramos by Bartra, but the Real Madrid captain sends his free shot from six yards out wide of the target!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Betis 0 Real Madrid 1 (14 mins - Fede Valverde). The away side have taken the lead and Real Madrid have their first goal of the season! Benzema worked the opportunity to get the cross into the middle and Valverde was on hand to convert the finish into the back of the Real Betis net from six yards out!

Real Madrid's season opener against Real Sociedad last weekend didn't offer much in the way of entertainment, but this match has been very interesting in the opening 15 minutes.

Emerson becomes the first player to be shown a yellow card, standing on Casemiro's foot.

Courtois initially struggled at Real Madrid, but he has become a real leader for them over the last two seasons. There's an argument to be made that he is the goalkeeper in the game right now.

Courtois made an outstanding save from Isak last week and the Belgian has made another huge stop to keep his sheets clean this evening! Fantastic goalkeeping from Courtois.

What a save! Huge opportunity for Sanabria to give Real Betis the lead! Sanabria met the cross perfectly in the middle, he headed down into the ground and Courtois somehow kept it out of the net!

Mendy drags wide! The Real Madrid left back gets high up the pitch, gets on the end of a pass forward, but he drags his shot wide of the near post when he should have hit the target.

Odegaard looks to be playing in the same position as last week, as the futhest forward central midfielder ahead of Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. The Norwegian is certainly being given a chance.

That was a lovely passing move from Real Madrid and a hint of how playing Jovic alongside Benzema could afford the Frenchman more time and space in front of goal.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Benzema has the ball in the back of the net, finishing from a Mendy cross into the middle, but the Frenchman was just offside when the ball was played.

So how will this selection curve ball from Zidane work out? Real Madrid were a little shot shy against Real Sociedad last weekend... is the selection of Jovic in response to that?

The match is under way! It's Real Betis against Real Madrid in this La Liga fixture!

Okay, here we go. We are about to get started at the Benito Villamarin. Kick off is just moments away.

Real Sociedad have started the season strongly with wins over Real Valladolid and Alaves. Can they make it three from three?
