Real Madrid, managed by Jose Mourinho, suffered its first defeat of the season in La Liga with a 1-0 loss to Real Betis on Friday. The winning goal was scored by Troy Parrott for Betis, who had been struggling to break through Madrid's defense until the 81st minute. Kylian Mbappé, who had two chances blocked earlier in the game, missed a late penalty kick that would have tied the score, and Alvaro Valles of Betis made the save to secure the win. This was Madrid's first loss since Mourinho returned as manager, having won its first three games under him.
