VIDEO: USMNT's Johnny Cardoso scores unbelievable header for first La Liga goal of season to help lead Real Betis' upset over Real Madrid

U.S. midfielder Johnny Cardoso scored his first goal of the La Liga season on Saturday, leaping high on a corner kick to head home for Real Betis in their La Liga clash with Real Madrid.

Los Blancos attacker Brahim Diaz gave Madrid an early lead 10 minutes into the clash before Betis drew level through Cardoso in the 34th minute. Former Madrid midfielder Isco then gave Betis the lead from the penalty spot in the 54th minute of the match early in the second half.

Real Betis would hold on to beat Real Madrid 2-1.

Cardoso has 18 caps for the USMNT, but has yet to find the back of the net on the international stage. He made his debut in 2020 for the program, but had to withdraw from the recent November camp under Mauricio Pochettino due to a minor ankle injury. That followed the same issue that happened during the October camp with the U.S., meaning the midfielder has yet to debut for Mauricio Pochettino.

Betis take on Vitoria De Guimaraes in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
