Mbappe misses penalty as Parrott lifts Betis past Real Madrid
SEVILLE: Kylian Mbappe missed a late penalty as Troy Parrott scored his first goal for Real Betis in a 1-0 win over Real Madrid on Friday, ending Jose Mourinho’s side’s perfect start to the La Liga season.
Seville witnessed a dramatic 1-0 victory for Real Betis over Real Madrid on Friday, as Troy Parrott scored his first goal for the club in a late penalty. Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid had dominated the match, creating numerous chances and scoring three or four, but ultimately lost due to a combination of factors. Kylian Mbappe missed a crucial penalty in stoppage time, and Natan's late challenge on Vinicius Junior led to a disallowed goal.
Betis' goalkeeper, Alvaro Valles, made several key saves to secure the win. The victory brought Betis level with Madrid on nine points from four matches, ahead of their second Champions League appearance next week.
