Real Madrid Falls to Real Betis in La Liga Upset
Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the La Liga season on [specific date not provided] after Real Betis secured a dramatic 1-0 victory at La Cartuja. Irish forward Troy Parrott scored the decisive goal in the 81st minute, ending José Mourinho’s unbeaten start to his second spell as head coach of Real Madrid.
Despite dominating large portions of the match, Madrid failed to convert their chances. Parrott, who came off the bench, reacted quickly to a rebound after Thibaut Courtois saved a header from Nelson Deossa.
Real Madrid created several opportunities, with Vinicius Junior hitting the post and a bicycle kick from Carlos Espí ruled out for offside after a VAR review. In stoppage time, Kylian Mbappé had a chance to equalize from a penalty, but Álvaro Valles saved his effort, preserving Betis’ victory and increasing pressure on Madrid.
