In La Liga on Friday evening, Real Madrid suffered its first defeat of the season against Betis Sevilla. After a goalless affair, the decisive goal was scored in the 81st minute by substitute Troy Parrott. The match took place at the Estadio Benito Villamarín and ended 1-0 in favor of the hosts.

The Madrid side, which had started the season with three consecutive victories, had numerous chances to equalize. Particularly in the closing stages, the players squandered several opportunities, including a crucial penalty that Kylian Mbappé failed to convert.

Additionally, a seemingly equalizing goal for Real Madrid in injury time was disallowed for offside, leading to significant disappointment among the players and fans of the club, who had hoped for a continuation of their winning streak.

The defeat presents additional challenges for Mourinho and his team, who must now focus on learning from this setback and aiming to secure victories in the upcoming matches.
