Parrott hands Real Madrid's first defeat, Mbappé misses penalty

Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season in La Liga, causing them to lose three points and Betis to earn the same number of points. Troy Parrott, former AZ striker, opened the scoring in the 81st minute, while Kylian Mbappé later missed a penalty.

Parrott's decisive strike

Parrott came on as a substitute in the 68th minute and put the ball in the net after a header from Deossa, scoring his first goal in the Spanish league. The Irish striker, who came from AZ Alkmaar, became the hero of the evening.

Kylian Mbappé got a chance in stoppage time to force an equaliser, but Álvaro Valles pushed the penalty away from the spot, leaving Real Madrid without extra points.

A potential equaliser from Carlos Espí was disallowed by VAR due to an off‑side position, despite him having made a half turn after a cross from Vinícius Júnior.

Dutch international Denzel Dumfries started in the lineup, but was substituted after more than an hour. Vinícius Júnior hit the post and Dean Huijsen struck the bar, while Thibaut Courtois had to deal with several chances.
