Real Madrid Suffers First League Defeat to Betis
On September 5, Real Madrid suffered their first league defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to Real Betis in Spain. The match saw Troy Parrott, a Republic of Ireland striker, come off the bench in the 68th minute and score the only goal nine minutes before full-time.
Parrott capitalized on a rebound after Thibaut Courtois saved a header from Nelson Deossa, marking his first goal for Real Betis since his £17.1 million transfer from AZ Alkmaar. Real Madrid believed they had equalized when Carlos Espí scored a spectacular goal, but it was disallowed for offside following a VAR review.
This defeat also marked José Mourinho's first loss since returning to the Real Madrid dugout.
