Real Madrid left it until the dying moments to score but were finally able to break down a resilient Real Betis.
Jorge Molina stunned the Bernabeu when he opened the scoring on 15 minutes. Karim Benzema equalised for the home side 10 minutes later but Betis but up a brilliant rear guard action to keep Real at 1-1.
After a number of near misses and wasted opportunities, with just minutes remaining new signing Isco scored a brilliant header to hand Carlo Ancelotti's men all three points.
