Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the LaLiga season in dramatic fashion, losing 1-0 to Real Betis in Seville. The result also marked the first setback of Jose Mourinho's return to the Madrid dugout, ending his side's perfect start to the campaign.

The decisive moment arrived in the 81st minute when substitute Troy Parrott reacted quickest after Thibaut Courtois had parried a header, firing Real Betis into a shock lead. The hosts then produced a disciplined defensive display to protect their advantage against relentless late pressure from the visitors.

For Kylian Mbappe, it was a night to forget. The France international squandered several promising opportunities before being handed a golden chance to rescue a point in stoppage time. However, his penalty was brilliantly saved by Alvaro Valles, whose outstanding performance proved decisive for Real Betis.
