00:00Carreras, Rudiger, Ascension, Valverde across the back, Charmany partners Camavinga, Bellingham behind Gonzalo with Vinny and Rodrigo.
00:08Here is the Betis line-up, Valles in goal, Ortiz, Bartra, Nathan and Rodrigues across the back, Diosa partners, Roca.
00:15And Ovara, Valles barking orders at Anthony, who's currently in the two-man wall as Rodrigo prepares to whip this in right-footed.
00:25And in the back post, who's rising? It's Gonzalo Garcia, it's his first goal in La Liga, the man who got four in the World Club Cup, scored 25 last season for Real Madrid, B, there's a broad smile on his face, good assist from Rodrigo, Real Madrid have the lead, it's Real Madrid won Betis.
00:44He's going to step up and fill those boots, he pulls away at the far post, he's clearly onside, it's terrible defending from Real Betis, initially to give away the free kick,
00:54and then the marking to leave the centre-forward, unmarked at the far post, great delivery in, but he does fantastically well, it's a lovely set-piece from Rodrigo,
01:05to guide it back across goal, doesn't give the goalkeeper a chance to make the save, believe me in that one, two seconds where the ball is floating back across the goal.
01:16He's the player that's, he's keeping it simple, using the ball quickly.
01:20Unfortunately, not many of his teammates are doing likewise.
01:24Vinicius, brilliantly away from Barca, he's got Camavinga, Gonzalo and Rodrigo.
01:30The half-time whistle goes, well, not much of anything really, I suppose they're not going to whistle their 1-0 up, but they're not happy with the way the team have finished the half.
01:37Yep, their first 20 minutes, they were electric, they were brilliant, Vinicius, not because it was a disaster, but because he's on the yellow card and Vinicius will try and torment him in the second half,
01:46they will have at least half a dozen attempts to take on the full-back.
01:52They were panicked there, wasn't they, from the defender, since he went really good.
01:58Vinicius, he clips that into Gonzalo Garcia, and what a finish that is!
02:04Well, if the first goal was just your meat-and-potato centre-forward, back-post header, that was absolutely brilliant!
02:11He scored his second goal of the game, Madrid have started the second half exactly as Xavi Alonso would have wanted them to, it's Ramadri 2-bit, isn't it?
02:19It's a glorious finish, Fede Valverde, far too much time on the ball.
02:22Dinks the little pass in to the big centre-forward, the chest control, practice, over the years, on a daily basis, the turn, the swivel, the volley, the accuracy, to be a very good goalkeeper in Alvaro Váez.
02:39The technique is, is perfect, can't say any more than that, chest control, spin, volley, all aspects of that goal.
02:47Real Madrid can, are in the ascendancy, there could be more goals here for them, to really, close this game out.
02:58Rodrigo with the corner-up, goals, and it's into the back of the net from Ascensio, it's his first goal from Real Madrid, it's 3-0.
03:05And the youngsters are doing the job for Xavi Alonso, Ascensio gets the third half, the Gonzalo Garcia's double, and it's Real Madrid 3-0.
03:14In behind Bartra, scoring with an easy header.
03:18I mean, they've got some big players around Madrid, so it's not easy to identify who to mark.
03:22Pass out to Natan, rolls over his foot and goes out for a throw, which pretty much sums up the way Betis have played so far.
03:28Rodrigo, still Rodrigo, and he goes down under the challenge from Fornau, as it comes out to Camavinga, and Camavinga's shot is saved.
03:38It's Wolves' team-mates.
03:40Fornau's to Roca.
03:42Roca with the shot, Courtois makes the save.
03:44First time he's really been called into action, Courtois.
03:50There's a break on here, it's Rodrigo, he's got Vinicius in support.
03:53Can Rodrigo finish blocked by Alvaro Valles?
04:00Well, it used to be one of Madrid's real strong points, their ability to break from defending corners and score at the other end.
04:07They almost did it there.
04:08Here's Zaito Ruibao.
04:10Ruibao with a shot, blocked by Courtois.
04:12He's too open now, it's in to end.
04:15Yeah, the points are theirs.
04:16For Coutinho to chase, and he's got on the end of it.
04:21Can he round Courtois?
04:21Courtois, he can.
04:22Can he finish the job and score, and make it 3-1?
04:25Yes, he can.
04:26He's done enough, he sends him wide.
04:28Courtois is beaten here, but once he gets back up, I'm thinking Coutinho Hernandez, if he shoots there, he's going to get blocked by Courtois.
04:34Coutinho Hernandez, still Hernandez.
04:36Gets away from Chalmini, trying to roll that back to Lo Celso.
04:39It comes out, and Courtois makes the save.
04:43Well, it was, I think Riquelme did the shot.
04:48Back to Chalmini, Bejerin makes the clearance.
04:50Four nows on to Riquelme.
04:54Anthony and Coutinho Hernandez ahead of him, he finds Anthony.
04:59What can he do?
05:00Well, he gets the shot away.
05:02This pass goes straight to a Betis player, and Bremer did a right-back under pressure again.
05:05Riquelme.
05:08Riquelme goes for goal, it's off the crossbar.
05:11Off the post, and cleared by Rudiger, and then by Camavinga.
05:14Well, that's the second time that Betis have hit the frame of the goal in this game.
05:19This is astonishing.
05:21I didn't give them a hope.
05:23Well, Betis, it's a 3-0 down.
05:25If anything, I think the scoreline was going to be bigger in favour of Real Madrid.
05:30And you can feel the anxiety now.
05:33He's all around the stadium.
05:35Lo Celso.
05:37Lo Celso lets fly, and it's wide.
05:39I think Arda Guller is one of the players about to come on.
05:41Ready to make changes.
05:44He did win 10 of the first 11 games they played, and he played the majority of them.
05:50And it looked as if Xavi Alonso found his solution for that problem.
05:53Right side position.
05:54Guller's in behind the Betis defence here.
05:58Cross comes in, and it's turned in by Gonzalo Garcia.
06:02He scored the hat-trick.
06:04It's Real Madrid 4, Betis 1.
06:06And there's not too much doubt about who the man of the match is going to be.
06:10He's going to take the match ball home.
06:11And Gonzalo strikes again, and Real Madrid surely now home and drive.
06:16Gonzalo Garcia clearly doesn't want it to get involved.
06:19He's onside, isn't he?
06:20Dozy defending.
06:22And Ricardo Rodriguez, the left back of Real Betis.
06:25You can understand why Barcher is appealing.
06:27But he's unaware that his team-mate has switched off.
06:31Fallen to sleep in that left-back position.
06:35It's a lovely cut-back from Ardegula.
06:37And a fantastic back-heel.
06:39Really stylish finish from Gonzalo Garcia.
06:42Looks like a Real Madrid player, doesn't he?
06:46Looks like a Real Madrid centre-forward.
06:48The chest, the volley finish.
06:50The back-heel finish.
06:52Fantastic move from Xavi Lontoc to give the youngster the opportunity for a standing ovation.
06:59In his own right.
07:01Now I think he's...
07:02I don't see why he trusted him, but he can trust him even more now.
07:06Ardegula's ball into Fede Valverde.
07:07And Valle's makes the save.
07:21Camavinga away from Altimira.
07:26Cross comes in from Valverde.
07:28And Fran Garcia gets in on the act as well.
07:30And it's 5-1.
07:32The substitute inflicts a little bit more pain on Betis.
07:36You just want this game to be over.
07:38The last minute of the three to be added on.
07:40Fran Garcia with the goal.
07:43I haven't worked out yet if he's playing in left-back position.
07:46Ferla Mondi is as well.
07:47But he's playing centre-back.
07:51Well, there goes the Fire Whistle.
07:52There's no time to restart the game.
07:55Xavi Alonso needed a big win.
07:56And he got a big win.
07:57And he got a big...
07:58...
