Real Madrid’s perfect start in La Liga ended on Friday when Real Betis beat them 1-0, with the substitute Troy Parrott scoring nine minutes from time and goalkeeper Álvaro Valles saving a stoppage-time penalty from Kylian Mbappé.
The clash began at a high tempo but the pace dropped after the interval in the heat in Seville. The Republic of Ireland star Parrott, introduced in the 68th minute, broke the deadlock in the 81st when he reacted quickly after Thibaut Courtois parried a header into his path.
Mbappé struck the crossbar four minutes later before the substitute Carlos Espí met a cross from Vinícius Júnior with a spectacular bicycle kick, only for the equaliser to be ruled out for offside following a VAR review.
