Betis Beats Real Madrid 1-0; Mbappe Misses Late Penalty

In a La Liga match on Friday, Real Betis secured a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, marking the end of Madrid's perfect start to the season under coach Jose Mourinho. Kylian Mbappe had a chance to equalize late in the game but missed a penalty saved by Betis goalkeeper Alvaro Valles during stoppage time.
The match saw Vinicius Junior hit the post in the first half, while Mbappe was denied twice by defenders Natan and Marc Bartra. Betis took the lead in the 81st minute when Troy Parrott scored from a rebound after Thibaut Courtois saved a header from Nelson Deossa.
A potential equalizer from Carlos Espi was ruled offside, and Mbappe later struck the crossbar before his penalty miss. This victory lifted Betis to nine points, matching Madrid's tally from four matches as they prepare for their second Champions League campaign next week.
